Within the project “Intervention to extend the access to quality education (formal and non formal) and psychosocial support for school-age children in the hosting villages and displaced communities of Maiduguri urban area (Nigeria)", financed by AICS (the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation), COOPI has been working from June 2017 to April 2018 on the construction and rehabilitation of four schools in different areas of Bolori II ward, namely:

• Gonidamgari Primary & Junior Secondary School;
• Diyabe Primary School;
• Ngarannam Primary & Junior Secondary School;
