Possible Solutions
Possible Solutions
Building a small one roomed affordable school house, would allow the whole families to be able to learn together and cheaply. Adding a watering well in the community, near the school house would then allow the children to get water for their family and still be ale to get to school.
The struggle is that families can't travel far for schooling, so having a school house that everyone can learn basic teachings is a very possible solution. After they get past the basic teachings, then the school house can provide fundraiser to help them go on to greater education.
The well in the community can benefit by allowing the family to have water near them at all times instead of having to travel all day for water. This then can allow for children to get the needed education and still have provided water near the house and school.
Prototype

- This bus will go around communities and pick up families and children. If families live to far from the school house this bus will pick them up and teach them as they go around and pick people up. The service will be free, and fun to encourage kids to want to go to school to get further education.
