The village has a school whose rooms are made of precarious materials (straws and bamboo), and does not have a water point or toilet.

- The construction of a school of 6 classes with toilets, a water point and a canteen. This will allow the children to go to school calmly, that they can have an education and especially to avoid that they go to work in the plantations.

- Support for the creation of Revenue Generating Activities (AGR) for village women’s groups.
