The previous structure of the Houay Loa Primary School consisted of two classrooms comprised of concrete flooring, wooden walls, and tin roofing. The doors and walls were broken and the roof was leaking. Due to limited space, the school only held classes for grade one to grade four by having two grades sharing one classroom. After grade four, the students had to walk to the nearest school for their fifth-grade classes, which is four kilometers away. These conditions hindered learning, posing a hazard to student safety and engagement.

With the support of Canguro English, PoP has partnered with the community to build a new three-classroom structure. The community was committed to providing higher-quality education to its students and contributed 20% of the resources and labor required for construction. Ground was broken in late 2021 and construction was completed by Summer 2022. The new school will provide a high-quality learning environment where every child can reach their unique potential.
