Project Overview

Detailed description of our project goals and methodology

With support from the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), Mai Aisha Trust constructed the Nangapoche Community Day Secondary School (CDSS), which was officially opened on January 4, 2022. The school features classroom blocks for Forms 1 through 4, an administration block, and two science laboratories. Now operating under government oversight, the school began with its first intake of 74 Form 1 students (38 girls and 36 boys), who were selected by the Ministry of Education. Mai Aisha Trust further supported the school by supplying desks, stationery, books, and ensuring an electricity connection.
