FENCING OF PRIMARY SCHOOL AND UPGRADING OF POLICE POST IN HURSHE
By Daryeel Project with Hurshe Community
Using a participatory community consultation process, the Hurshe community prioritized fencing the primary school and upgrading the police post. These improvements will address critical education and security needs in the community.
Hurshe is a community within Xerale District, consisting of approximately eight hundred households. It is located 80 kilometers northeast of Xerale town and 18 kilometers south of Abudwaq town. Most public infrastructure in Hurshe has not been upgraded for a long time due to drought and past internal conflicts between the communities of Hurshe and Xerale town. Additionally, these services are increasingly strained due to population growth caused by displaced persons primarily arriving from Baadweyne. This influx has increased the demand for additional schools, boreholes, and other essential services.
The Hurshe community has expressed strong interest in participating in the Daryeel matching grant project, which supplements funds raised by the community at a set ratio. The community has prior experience initiating and co-financing small to medium projects, including the construction of administrative blocks, police posts, and schools. For this matching grant, the Hurshe community proposed adding rooms to the police post and fencing the primary school to protect children from traffic and to prevent encroachment on the school compound from nearby housing developments.
Because fencing the school and upgrading the police station will benefit all residents of Hurshe and surrounding communities, requiring collaboration across multiple groups, the matching grant ratio is set at 1 to 3. The expected community contribution is $20,000, with the project matching $60,000, making the total project cost $80,000.
This fencing and police post upgrade was identified as a priority through an inclusive Community Based Planning (CBP) process conducted in Hurshe in November 2021. This government-led, community-owned process brought together representatives from diverse socioeconomic groups to assess local resources, understand community strengths and challenges, and identify priority projects.
Thank you for contributing toward improving education and security in Hurshe through fencing the primary school and upgrading the police station. This will benefit the entire Hurshe community!
