UNICEF school kits in Gamboma aim to ease barriers to attendance
A 24 September UNICEF account describes how shortages of school supplies can keep children in Bene, Gamboma, from attending. Kits funded through the McGovern-Dole programme form part of local school support.
UNICEF quoted Atongui Célestine, head of Mouzita school in Bene, Gamboma district, saying some Indigenous children could not start school promptly because their families could not afford notebooks, pens and other supplies. School kits distributed with UNICEF support and funded through the McGovern-Dole programme are intended to reduce that cost barrier.
The government, UNICEF, the Global Partnership for Education, the U.S. government and other partners are also supporting new preschool classrooms in the area. The school director said she hoped the kits would encourage attendance; the account reports no measured increase in enrolment or attendance after distribution. It describes the purpose of local education support and continuing infrastructure challenges.
