Villagers in Dogon Gada have known for some time how important it was to find a way to give their children an education. They even started a school without the proper four walls.

Bitrus wants to be a medical doctor someday.

“Quite a lot is going on in Dogon Gada in the area of education, one of the five key elements fundamental to transformation. This month, we present the story of Bitrus, a 13-year old Dukawa boy, a native of Dogon Gada village where he lives with his parents.

“This is what Bitrus has to say about the Dogon Gada Primary School:
