Tay Giang is a mountainous district in the West of Quang Nam province with 95% of people coming from Cotu minority ethnic background. The nearest city is Tam Ky located about 185km away. 80% of Tay Giang border is shared with Laos. The terrain is dangerous and unfavorable for transportation. The poverty rate remains high at 65%. People are still lack of many basic needs as well as standard care & comfort needs. Child malnutrition is prevalent. The percentage of children attending school at the standard age is still low.  Education system is inadequate especially infrastructure and classroom. At this moment, the entire district has 18 schools within the management of Quang Nam Education Department. There is only one elementary school located in Lang Commune equipped with a library that achieves standard practice. BeCause team aims to provide proper selection of books and necessary furniture as well as equipment to establish a library at ATieng Elementary School.

About ATieng School:

Location: Ahu Village, ATieng Commune, Quang Nam Province

Number of students: 270

Established in 2007, Atieng consists of one main location in central Tay Giang Commune and four other smaller satellite locations in nearby villages where students from the villages can easily access the school. In recent years, the school received more attention from local authorities, but inconsistency in academic quality is still visible across different classes and satellite locations. The school continues facing challenges of adequate physical facilities, teaching equipment, as well as reading materials for the students.
