This year 2025 sees Mission Direct move to a new project at Wiggins Primary School

This is a Government Primary School near to Kumi Centre but serving a mainly rural community to the South of Kumi. It has just over one thousand students. The school has twenty teachers but only thirteen homes, some of which are in a very dilapidated condition. This means that six classrooms are being used to house teachers. The consequence of this is that some of the students are being taught in dilapidated classrooms from 1940’s, in which lessons are disrupted by poor weather. Our project is to build eight new teachers’ homes over three years and if possible, to undertake some repairs and refurbishment to improve the condition for the other homes. This will release six classrooms back for teaching, enabling the school to stream each year group and reduce class sizes.

Ensuring teachers are well housed has direct benefit to the children’s education, ensuring teachers are available without the worry of coping with inadequate housing.

If at the end of the project there is any surplus it will be allocated to our general project development fund, designated for future projects in Kumi. Any Gift Aid element will be used to fund Mission Direct's general operational and administrative costs.
