"I am Patience, the principal of Maunga Primary School.
Thank you for your generous support of African Bush Camps Foundation and the work they are doing at our school. It was a challenge before, and the school was struggling, but the Foundation stepped in to support us, supplying teaching materials and improving the infrastructure at the school. The nutrition program launched at the school has improved the learners' health and reduced absenteeism and school dropouts. Our pass rate has increased, and learners are progressing to secondary school with outstanding results because of the ongoing investment in the school.
We continue to receive the amazing support from you and the Foundation, and we are excited about the science lab that will be built this year as part of the plans to expand the school into a primary and secondary school. Thank you for all the work done.”
Partner With Us to Expand Maunga Primary School
We are expanding Maunga Primary School into a primary and secondary school. The nearest secondary school is 12 miles (20km) from Maunga Village. The high cost of schooling, travel, and boarding far from home is a financial challenge for many families. As a result, a large percentage of learners drop out of school after grade 7.
Expanding the school will keep learners in school beyond grade 7, allowing them to finish their schooling while easing the financial burden for parents. The expansion plan will require key improvements, including a fully equipped science lab, additional classrooms, a new dormitory, and additional teacher accommodation at the school. This year, we will start renovating the science lab.
You can partner with us to expand Maunga Primary in 2025!
