Erigavo Secondary School Project

The School was build in 1975 by the Former government and the Erigavo community, to provide the need for secondary education required by Sanaag Region. After it's completion it was a success story, producing up 200 high school graduate each year since 1975 to 1987.

Due to the result of civil war out break in 1988 the school was used as a military base by the Former dictator Siad Barre's army to launch attacks on Sanaag region civilians, thus the school was damaged by shelling, burning and vandalism.

The School sustained to be out of service and without repairs since 1999 which also worsen, it's condition.  Spring 1999 UNHCR commence a small project to reconditioned four classes, two offices, and two toilets which enable for the first class of 32 students (in 1999) to join the higher school in Erigavo in 12 years.  2001 Three more classes have been rehabilitated by Somali forums. By the end of 2002 another plot laboratory rooms have maintained by UNHCR.

The support provided by the above two organisation helped the school to function and provide basic education for small number of students.  Since then year in year out the number of students increased by up 200%.  The school is expecting for the academic year of 2007/2008 to enrol new 600 students, which will take the total number of this academic year up to 1500 students.

Erigavo Education Committee has put forward an appeal to UHUBSO to assist the school to meet this ever growing demand. This project named (Erigavo Secondary School Rehabilitation and Maintenance) is sponsored by UHUBSO to assist the Sanaag community to rebuild the damaged school and help them it's functioning in order to meet local demand.
