School Infrastructure

Safe, resilient learning environments are essential to dignity and educational continuity.

Silem Foundation supports targeted school infrastructure improvements that protect learning today while strengthening long-term sustainability. Our work focuses on improving existing school facilities so children and teachers can learn in environments that are safe, functional, and resilient.

Infrastructure support is designed to enable education, not replace school leadership or ownership.

What We Do

  • Support classroom improvements and limited expansion aligned with school needs and capacity

  • Improve access to reliable electricity, including solar solutions where appropriate

  • Support clean water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) improvements in learning environments

  • Provide essential learning equipment and classroom furniture


Why It Matters

Poor infrastructure is a major source of learning disruption.

Unsafe classrooms, lack of electricity, and inadequate water and sanitation can force school closures, reduce attendance, and undermine teaching quality. Strengthening school infrastructure helps ensure education can continue safely and consistently—even in challenging conditions.


Who This Program Supports

  • Students and teachers

  • School administrators and staff

  • Local communities connected to partner schools


Sustainability & Safeguards

  • Infrastructure projects are school-led and community-supported

  • Improvements are tailored to local context, capacity, and maintenance realities

  • Solar and energy solutions prioritize durability, safety, and long-term use

  • Schools retain ownership and responsibility for facilities


Outcomes We Track

  • Safety and usability of learning spaces

  • Access to reliable power and clean water

  • Reduced learning disruptions due to infrastructure challenges

  • Improved conditions for teaching and learning

These indicators help ensure infrastructure investments strengthen education outcomes and remain accountable to schools and donors.
