SCHOOL
INFRASTRUCTURE
The cost of repairing and expanding school infrastructure often falls to parents. This is a huge burden for the poorest and most vulnerable communities. MMF has funded school infrastructure in communities with strong commitment to education and urgent need for investment. We also boost school food production and income-generating projects to help the schools become more self-sustaining.
