However, renovation on the village has been completed and has started operation.

SOS Hermann Gmeiner School |
|
 Juah Town was one of the areas hardest hit by the seven-year civil war. The inhabitants are mostly farmers and are barely subsisting. Children of this community are obliged to do farm work or attend bush schools known as the "Poro" for the boys and "Sande" for the girls.
Due to the lack of good schools and the low standard of education within the community, the Hermann Gmeiner International school was established and has been in operation since September 2000. It has a capacity of about 315 students. |
