1. INTRODUCTION

Buhodle Primary school was established in ____. School age children and youth from Buhodle and Nomadic families in the Ayn Region receive primary education there; the school was established by Buhodle community and was later renovated and re-opened since___________.

The school currently has nine classrooms and operates in two shifts, school age children come in the morning shift and youths and adults in the afternoon shift. This is a clear indication of the scarcity education facilities in Buhodle, the business and administration center of the Ayn region of Somalia. The education sector is one of the most affected areas and it is getting worse every day

Since the fall of the Somali government in 1990, the Ayn region did not receive any governmental, UN or international NGO assistance. Despite being one of the most peaceful and stable regions in Somalia the region had been neglected operational agencies and the international aid community. No single security incident had been report of the Ayn region for many years now. 

There are hundreds of children in the town with out education for lack of space in the school.

There are hundreds of children in the Buhodle town with out education for the lack of space in the school. In Buhodle as well as in the surrounding villages, the number of school aged children is increasing every year but the number of pupils who go to primary schools is decreasing because the existing schools don’t have enough space or classrooms for new students.

This is the only public primary school in Buhodle it can’t cover more then 700 students and it consists of 9 classrooms and two incomplete classes, for which SSHDA is seeking funds to complete in order to rise schools yearly intake capacity which is currently less than 50 students.

In September this year alone, more than three hundred school age children came or where brought by their parents to get primary education, but, unfortunately the school could only take the first 50 students because as stated above the number of classrooms is limited.

In recent years, the numbers of nomadic and rural families settling down In Buhodle have considerably increased. Drought displaced families are among the new comers to Buhodle increasing the public demand for education among other things like clean drinking water and health facilities.

To minimize the number of children with out primary education.

To increase the number of children who have primary education in Buhodle town, which in turn will reduce the level of illiteracy in the area and in the country in general

Short term goals:

To give primary and intermediate education to at least 200 children and youths who are presently not in school.

To encourage families to send their children to school.

To employ a number of teachers after the completion of the extension works.

This will also encourage the expected repatriation of refugee from Kenya and Ethiopia and the return of the displaced people from the other regions of country who are deeply concerned of the future of their children upon return to their home region.
