COUNTRY

Dida is a rural village located in a remote and desert area, 35 km from Zway. In this context, three local residents started to build a school and a brick kindergarten, which soon became a meeting place not only for the children of the village but also for adults. The construction of a water well connected to the school has transformed this place into a point of vital importance for the families of the area, who gather to drink and have access to sanitary facilities.

Cultural and social services bring together young villagers, by offering sports activities, library access, recreational and musical activities, religious celebrations and a hygiene education service.
