Japan has signed a grant agreement worth US$100,449 to build new classrooms and facilities at Matola primary school in Mozambique. The project, implemented by the Community Association for Human Development (ASSCODECHA), will construct two blocks containing seven classrooms, each designed to accommodate 50 pupils.
The new facilities will include desks for students and access ramps for people with disabilities, aiming to improve learning conditions and create a more inclusive school environment. The project also provides for the expansion and rehabilitation of existing classrooms and the construction of two toilet blocks, with four toilets for boys and two for girls.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan to Mozambique, HAMADA Keiji, attended the signing ceremony. The interventions are expected to expand access to education and support the continuity of children’s education in the region.
