It looks like this when arche noVa renovates schools in Myanmar

"I am sure that the children especially enjoy coming to school, now that they can wash their hands properly and go to the toilet," U San Lu, from the village teachers' association, comments on the construction of the hygiene facilities.

The fields of application of arche noVas in Pane Hone are versatile: besides the actual construction of hand washing stations, hygiene workshops are also offered.

In Myanmar the school is often the safest place in the village, here the inhabitants are protected on the one hand from natural disasters and on the other from armed attacks.

The children of the village are very happy about the new climbing frame on the school grounds. "I am sure that we can learn much better now", Sai Si is happily saying.

The newly equipped classrooms in villages like Pane Hone give the communities new prospects for the future. Now the children have the opportunity to work as teachers or doctors in the region.

In addition to arithmetic and writing, the students of the school learn about general hygiene measures.

In total, nine schools in the villages around Lashio have been extensively renovated in the past two years, benefiting more than 3500 children and a good 175 teachers.
