“You have been coming for many years and walking with us.”

Gabriel Wai Mach, Chief of Konbek

Ayak Anguei Girls’ Primary Boarding School, our first school, birthed out of the reunification of Co-founder Isaac Khor Bher began in 2007 with temporary classrooms made from local materials of mud and thatch. The school opened as the only all girls primary boarding school in the region. During 2007 and 2008 the Konbek community, with funding support from Project Education Sudan, began construction on permanent facilities. The school has been operating since 2007 serving 400 girls P1 through P8 with seven GoSS teachers, a Headmaster and Head Matron.

We are proud to announce the first graduating class of twenty seven girls in May 2012, seventeen of which continued on to Secondary school.
