A brighter future for all
This primary and nursery school, opened in 2009, aims to offer quality education to pupils from various backgrounds. Around 180 children are currently registered, including 60 from very poor families in the local area who are considered to be « untouchable ».

The long term aim is for the school to be self-supporting through the fees paid by the parents of children from wealthier backgrounds, who attend lessons each morning.

Follow the construction work since it began in 2007.
