# Mayotte: school reconstruction and tensions after Cyclone Chido > At the end of October 2026, 13 prefabricated classes were inaugurated in Vahibé for the start of the school year, allowing students to regain the mandatory number of class hours after damage from Cyclone Chido. In the following days, the Fondation de France indicated that of the 44.4 million euros collected, 16 million had not yet been committed, while the municipality of Bandrélé delegated to the State the construction and renovation of its schools, after Ouangani, under the emergency law for Mayotte; the mayor of Mamoudzou also gave an update on school construction sites in Vahibé, Kawéni and Douajni. In early November, boating professionals blocked the barge to denounce the failure to respect commitments by the Département-Région since the cyclone, due to a lack of functional and secure pontoons, and FC Koropa launched a fundraiser of 30,000 euros to rebuild its clubhouse. An article highlighted that education in Mayotte remained severely degraded two years after Cyclone Chido and that State action was awaited, while an unlimited strike at the Département-Région over the condition of buildings continued, a departmental councilor assuring that projects were underway. **In brief**: Ongoing story bringing together 8 events in Mayotte, followed from 26 October 2026 to 4 November 2026. 10 articles from 3 sources (society, social); last updated on 4 November 2026 at 09:51. - Status: ongoing - Category: Society, Social - Place: Mayotte - First detected: 26 October 2026 at 08:18 - Updated: 4 November 2026 at 09:51 - Web page: https://acturadar.com/en/stories/173-mayotte-school-reconstruction-and-tensions-after-cyclone-chido ## Reported figures - 44,4 millions d’euros - 16 millions - 7,6 millions d'euros - 44,4 millions d'euros - 30 000 euros ## Timeline (8 events) ### 26 October 2026 — [Mayotte: 13 prefabricated classrooms inaugurated in Vahibé for the start of the school year](https://acturadar.com/en/events/1173-mayotte-13-prefabricated-classrooms-inaugurated-in-vahibe-for-the-start-of-the.md) In Vahibé, 13 prefabricated classrooms were inaugurated for the start of the school year, allowing students to regain the mandatory number of class hours after damage from Cyclone Chido. 1 sources, 1 articles · Vahibé — Mayotte ### 29 October 2026 — [Mayotte: use of record donations from Fondation de France after Cyclone Chido](https://acturadar.com/en/events/4057-mayotte-use-of-record-donations-from-fondation-de-france-after-cyclone-chido.md) Of the 44.4 million euros collected after Cyclone Chido, 16 million have not yet been committed, with the Fondation de France continuing to fund reconstruction projects in Mayotte. 2 sources, 2 articles · Mayotte ### 30 October 2026 — [Mayotte: Bandrélé delegates school construction to the State.](https://acturadar.com/en/events/4528-mayotte-bandrele-delegates-school-construction-to-the-state.md) After Ouangani, the municipality of Bandrélé entrusts the State with the construction and renovation of its schools, pursuant to the emergency law for Mayotte, according to a decree published in the Official Journal. 1 sources, 1 articles · Bandrélé — Mayotte ### 30 October 2026 — [Mayotte: Mamoudzou mayor gives update on school construction projects](https://acturadar.com/en/events/4620-mayotte-mamoudzou-mayor-gives-update-on-school-construction-projects.md) The mayor of Mamoudzou, Ambdilwahedou Soumaïla, details progress on school construction projects in Vahibé, Kawéni and Douajni, while 13 modular classrooms have been installed in Vahibé. 1 sources, 1 articles · Mamoudzou — Mayotte ### 2 November 2026 — [Mayotte: boating professionals block the barge](https://acturadar.com/en/events/6726-mayotte-boating-professionals-block-the-barge.md) Nautical activity providers in Mayotte are blocking barge traffic to denounce the Department-Region's failure to honor its commitments since Cyclone Chido, due to a lack of functional and safe pontoons. 2 sources, 2 articles · Mayotte ### 2 November 2026 — [Mayotte: FC Koropa launches a fundraiser to rebuild its clubhouse](https://acturadar.com/en/events/7538-mayotte-fc-koropa-launches-a-fundraiser-to-rebuild-its-clubhouse.md) Nearly two years after Cyclone Chido, FC Koropa in Majicavo Koropa has launched a €30,000 fundraiser to rebuild its clubhouse, which still lacks a roof and sanitary facilities. 1 sources, 1 articles · Majicavo Koropa — Mayotte ### 2 November 2026 — [À Mayotte, l'éducation toujours en ruine deux ans après le cyclone Chido](https://acturadar.com/en/events/7285-a-mayotte-l-education-toujours-en-ruine-deux-ans-apres-le-cyclone-chido.md) Deux ans après le cyclone Chido, l'éducation à Mayotte reste très dégradée et l'action de l'État se fait attendre, selon l'article.
