The M School in the village of Mwashota opened in Jan. 2018 and is now a fully functioning classroom. There are currently over 600 students enrolled in the Casa and Primary programs, both operating out of the M School. The teachers, Gerrard, Stephano, and Petro are working tirelessly to guide the children in using the growing inventory of Montessori materials. The children now have child-sized tables and chairs and they are able to work in a clean and safe environment. Since the closest Government Primary school is 18 km away, this will be the only education that many of the children ever receive. The journey to the Primary school is just too far and dangerous. The M school is truly a beacon of hope for a community that is very remote and faces many challenges.
