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.
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
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.
