1.The Project for Upgrading of Rishikul Primary School

Japan provided funding assistance of $151,000.00, for construction of a new classroom, library and an ablution block to Rishikul Primary School. The School was established in 1931, and boasts to be the “Pride and Spirit of Nasinu” with school roll over one thousand two hundred. The new classroom complex will enable the school to relocate children from an overcrowded temporary classroom erected by partitioning the library to accommodate the increasing number of children entering the Rishikul School, and also make way to extend for a fully-fledged library facility. The new seven-pan toilet will ease the pressure on the usage of current toilet facilities, and improve the pupil-toilet ratio at the School.  With the formalisation of this project today, there is renewed hope for the children of Nasinu, as they have been provided with a better opportunity for learning and achieving academic success.

2. The Project for Upgrading of Rishikul Nadera Primary School

The new classroom will empower Rishikul Nadera Primary School to expand size of classrooms presently partitioned to accommodate 360 students attending the school mainly from Nadera, Nadawa and Kinoya. This School was established in 1977 and had faced shortage of adequate classroom space to cater for the increasing children intake and has in its possession approximately 6000 library books currently stacked away in shelves and boxes.  

3. The Project for Upgrading of Koronubu Indian School
