She said Cyclone Freddy caused huge damage to education infrastructure in the country. According to Wirima, 72 Classrooms, 87 teachers houses and over 980 WASH facilities were fully destroyed, while 460 classrooms, 423 teachers houses, 542 WASH facilities were partially destroyed, requiring reconstruction and rehabilitation respectively.

In order to recover from these effects, she said, there is a need for more than US$80,296,573.91. Wirima called upon for unity and solidarity in sharing the cost of recovery saying no single entity will be able to meet this need. The minister therefore thanked UNICEF and the Norwegian Government for being a friend indeed, in time of need.

She said the education supplies received will make the lives of learners and teachers better.
