COREDA Continues to Prioritize Education

Despite all the challenges, COREDA is making progress one step at a time. They have continued to work on their school construction project throughout the pandemic, and they were even able to resume classes hosted in their new facilities in October 2020. They even had their first batch of graduates in June 2021.

Although they have already had elementary students enrolled and have been operating, they are expecting at least 300 new children in the coming school year, so their needs remain significant.
