Gurmuu: Better Classrooms for 2,294 Children

Gurmuu Development Association partnered with EDTF to foster primary education quality by improving school infrastructure across four Oromia woredas: Horro Gudru, Walmara, Debre Libanos, and Waliso.

New classroom blocks — including a two-classroom block at Abadho Jawe Primary serving 1,702 students — arrived with 60 combined desks and shallow well water facilities on campus.

Girl-only Menstrual Hygiene Management rooms in Wolmera Woreda helped keep female students in school. Girls’ dropout fell from 7% to 5%; enrollment and promotion rates rose 5%.

Altogether the effort supports 2,294 children — part of a portfolio that enrolled 8,955 new students nationwide.
