Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2000, the newly-built Khartoum Refinery (CNPC has 50% stake) donated USD 700,000 to establish the KRC Friendship School. Located in the residential area for Sudanese employees around the refinery, the school occupies an area of 1,824 square meters, and consists of Preschool, Primary and Secondary education divisions. At present, the school has 31 staff and faculty members and 687 students. Since the school began operating, the refinery donates about USD 10,000 in stationary supplies to the school each year. Over the ten years of the school’s operation, over 3,000 students have graduated, with a 100% graduation rate, and 104 graduates have been recruited into universities and colleges in Sudan. The start and end dates are unknown.
