UNMISS Rwandans Hand Over Kapuri School to Government

The Rwandan battalion of the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) handed over newly constructed buildings for Kapuri Primary School in Central Equatoria State to the South Sudanese government, on 9 February 2015. The contingent built eight classrooms, two staff offices and washrooms for the school after Rwandan soldiers, during a routine patrol in May 2014, observed pupils studying under trees and in make-shift classrooms with no sanitation facilities. The battalion began construction in September 2014, in partnership with UNICEF, members of the Rwandan community in South Sudan and local Kapuri communities. The project was completed under the theme ""Umuganda"" or ""Shared Work"".
