The Evangelical School of Nan Akou was established in 2015, starting with one class of 3 year old preschool. With no school building to start with, they met inside the church of Nan Akou. Each year another grade level is added to the school. Since 2015 a preschool and primary school have been constructed, serving students age 3 through 6th grade. There are no other quality schools in the nearby area so this school is a blessing and a hope for many.
In order to attract quality teachers to this rural community, a teacher dormitory was added for the teachers. This building not only houses the teachers, but also a community radio station, a reservoir for water, bathrooms for the school, and the office of the school.
These rural schools are not funded by the government. They operate on private funds alone. Join together with a partner, a family member, a Bible study group, or staff group and consider sponsoring a classroom. Your help is indispensable!
