In addition, Loefbergs Lila made a donation to support the renovation of four primary schools. With the help of the project, the schools were repaired, painted and equipped with new desks. The schools were previously in very poor condition, with broken roofs, very few desks and overcrowded classrooms. Furthermore, various social conditions have improved through higher income for the beneficiaries and their families, including improved housing, better nutrition and more children attending school.
