Project Report | Aug 25, 2025
Fundraising continues

By Catherine Hoath | Co-founder, Secretary and Treasurer

Fundraising for the new high school in Konkourona is continuing as the community focuses on construction of a diagnostic laboratory.  So far $50 out of a goal of $150,000 has been raised.  Once construction of the diagnostic laboratory is complete in 2026, construction of the high school will be prioritized.

High performance at the middle school level has been sustained for 6 years now, since the beginning of the partnership between the Konkourona Alliance Foundation (KAFO), Inc. in the United States and the Mami Siara Na Association of Konkourona.  Rates for passing the middle school entrance exam have soared from 4% in 2019 to over 80% today.  

There is a growing need for community members with higher education to fill the many jobs that have been created since we started such as teachers, nurses, accountants, water managers, office managers, a library manager, a pharmacy manager, etc.
