overview
Vinama, surrounded by several villages, is centrally located and is a 15 minute drive north of Chongoroi. There is a small health post near the school.
Construction of a 4-classroom school began in 2013, but government funds ran out. It stood unfinished until the Chongoroi Administrator, a committed man with whom RISE has had a relationship over many years, requested that RISE partner to complete the school, as well as four others in the area. Building upon the investment, the school was finished, and dedicated on September 16, 2019 amidst much joy and gratitude.
