The school has been expanded with multifunctional new classrooms, that can be combined, and with an administrative section. The new and the already existing buildings have all undergone infrastructural development, and new educational programmes have been launched while current ones have been improved in order for the new classrooms to be utilized as efficiently as possible. Locally available materials have primarily been used during the reconstruction, and the Foundation has intended to get access to materials in Congo which can later on be repaired or added to locally. Local experts and workers have taken part in the execution of the project.The short-term aim of the project has been to construct buildings for the purpose of education, to improve the infrastructure, and to expand the choice of educational programmes.

All in all, students at College Othniel have access to education higher in standard which helps improve the quality of living. Beside granting the location for lessons, the classrooms can serve as ideal locations for organizing additional courses during which both children and adults can learn, among other things, about HIV/AIDS diseases, environmental protection, and other issues of high importance. The expansion of space, furthermore, allows the education of children coming from the most underprivileged families. The construction of a nursery classroom enables the education of children under the age of six, and parents can thus take on jobs.  d4840d12
