Problem and solution approach

The main problem of the Fekri Saljouqi school is the lack of classrooms in relation to the high number of students, which is why lessons have to take place in sparsely furnished, and weatherproof tents. The main building of the school is in a dilapidated condition, and the existing classrooms are poorly equipped, which greatly affects the learning success of the students.

The lack of heating facilities in the school building leads to health problems for both the students and the teaching staff on colder days. The insufficient water supply forces the students to hike to the nearest well 2 km away during the breaks to quench their thirst. For the younger students, this distance is not manageable during the break, so they have to get along without drinking until the end of school.

Visions for Children e.V. tackles these problems head on. As a first immediate measure, the children were given high-quality drinking bottles to save them several long journeys to the fountain. As a next step, we provided them with winter-proof clothing. Additionally, our member Jawid equipped the classroom tents with thick carpeting, so that the children no longer have to attend classes on hard, dusty, or sometimes muddy floors.
