Give now to double your support for
teachers' housing at Soit Sambu!
There are many things students need to get the most out of their education: dedicated spaces to learn and study, healthful food to fuel their brains and bodies, and the books and supplies that will help them pursue their passions. But to unlock all the opportunities education offers, the true key is a good teacher. Without the tireless work of committed teachers, education’s transformative benefits simply wouldn’t exist.
The lack of teacher housing creates many challenges for the teachers at Soit Sambu Secondary School
With over 1000 students to oversee, the 25 teachers at the school have an undeniably demanding job. But instead of resting and recuperating at the end of each day, they must crowd into housing meant for 9 teachers.
FOTZC-built teacher houses like these will be a tremendous upgrade for Soit Sambu Secondary School
These teachers, along with 7 non-teaching staff members, are forced to share single rooms, communal spaces have been turned into bedrooms out of necessity, and privacy is nonexistent. Lesson planning is nearly impossible in such chaotic living quarters, forcing many teachers to spend their nights in the school offices simply to complete their work.
Teachers are an indispensable resource for the Soit Sambu school community
Soit Sambu Secondary School is thankful for the funding FOTZC provided for the construction of three dormitories. Your support has contributed to the increase in student enrollment and improved academic performance. This is evidenced by the school earning one of the most improved government secondary schools in the Form Four national examination (CSEE) for 2023. Now, it’s time to help these teachers and staff.
Thanks to a generous matching grant by the Drollinger Family Charitable Foundation, donations up to $25,000 will be matched dollar-for-dollar. And since FOTZC board members cover administrative and fundraising expenses, 100% of your donation will go directly to housing for these teachers and staff.
Teachers assume enormous challenges when accepting jobs in remote areas, often preventing them from seeing family more than a few times a year. Please help us build accommodations that allow them to live with their families and to continue bringing the life-changing opportunities an education affords to the students of Soit Sambu.
