Access Road Project at Ndunwali

As part of its unwavering commitment to breaking barriers to education, the Race Foundation initiated an access road construction project in Ndunwali in January 2025. This project aimed to create a safe and reliable pathway for children living in the interior parts of the village to walk to school at Model Primary School, Ndunwali.

Previously, the children and villagers relied on narrow, bushy pathways, which posed significant safety risks and made daily commutes challenging. The foundation recognized the urgent need for a proper access road to enhance safety, improve connectivity, and promote education in the community.

The new access road spans approximately 6 kilometers, connecting the interior parts of the village to the school. To execute the project efficiently and cost-effectively, the foundation utilized manual labor, fostering local engagement while addressing the immediate needs of the community.

Key achievements of the project include:Clearing and widening of the bush pathways.Application of laterite to create a durable road foundation.Transforming once impassable paths into a broad road suitable for safe use by pupils and villagers alike.

The road construction has reached an advanced stage and is already in use by the community. The final phase, which involves leveling the road, is set to be completed soon. This remaining work will ensure the road is fully ready for all-weather use, providing even greater convenience and accessibility.Impact on the Community

The road construction has brought immense relief to both pupils and the broader community by:Ensuring a safe and secure walk to school for children, encouraging regular attendance and reducing risks.Shortening travel times and improving access to Model Primary School for families in remote areas.Enhancing connectivity for villagers, enabling easier movement of people and goods within the community.

The initiative has been widely praised by villagers, who have expressed gratitude for the foundation’s efforts in addressing a long-standing challenge. This project is seen as a transformational development that not only supports education but also improves the quality of life for all residents.ConclusionThe access road construction in Ndunwali is a testament to the Race Foundation’s dedication to removing obstacles that hinder children from accessing quality education.
