Kundum Lower Basic School
The Gambia
Welcome to the Tujereng Lower Basic School. Built in 1959, when the Gambia was a British Crown Colony, this school has little changed since then. Today, weak beams of rotten wood support single sheets of asbestos shingle. Given the age of the school, they are cracked and broken and fill the air with tiny fibres that increase the risk to the school’s pupils to deadly disease. In May 2018, Andreas Grundtvig and Alhagie Fofana, a local nurse and friend of Teachers 4 Schools, visited the school to deliver school materials sent by teachers in Northern Germany. They were were warmly received by Modou Fadera, the Headmaster and many of the pupils.
