A primary school in Limpopo, South Africa has eight new classrooms due to the combined efforts of AFRICOM's Humanitarian Assistance Program, contracting by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Office of Defense and Cooperation in the U.S. South African Embassy.

The new classrooms at the Lesodi-Motlana primary school house 230 students in grades five through seven. An administrative building and hygienic latrines were also constructed.

To date, AFRICOM’s humanitarian assistance efforts coordinated through the U.S. South African Embassy, have supported the development of more than a dozen schools, constructed

community centers, hospices, and sponsored learning materials for thousands of high school students throughout South Africa.
