ADRA Bulgaria has successfully partnered with the Taiwan Foundation to improve the infrastructure of the poorest schools in the Pazardzhik region. With the support of the Municipality of Pazardzhik, the most vulnerable schools in the district were selected. The schools in the villages of Pishtigovo, Gelemenovo, and Ivaylo were identified as those in greatest need of new sanitary facilities. The existing restrooms were located outside the school buildings. In one of the schools, the old window frames were decayed, and the corridors failed to provide the necessary temperature for comfortable learning.

ADRA Bulgaria will construct and equip the required sanitary facilities inside the school buildings. At the school in the village of Pishtigovo, a new playground will also be renovated and arranged in front of the school building, along with a new, wide access pathway leading to it. In the school in the village of Gelemenovo, where around 100 children study, a new annex will be built as an extension of the school building.

This project will bring significant improvements to the learning environment and will create better conditions for both students and teachers.
