Creating great learning spaces

School buildings and infrastructure

Most schools lack sufficient classrooms, so many classes are held outside or in temporary shelters. This makes teaching and learning challenging in the sunshine and almost impossible when it rains!

 

One of Hope4Malawi's goals is for children to have a great learning environment. We work with four partner primary schools that feed into Hope Secondary School: Chipwepwete, Chimwembe, Tapani and Mafunde, and we continue to support Mpemba Primary.

 

A priority is for each of our feeder primary schools to have enough well-equipped classrooms, a fully resourced library, toilets and teacher housing.

​

Developing Hope Secondary School has been a main focus. This new school opened in February 2021 and provides infrastructure for four primary schools.

Building and developing Hope Secondary School

Hope Community Day Secondary School in Mabala Village opened in February 2021. Hope4Malawi continues to partner with the Ministry of Education to develop this Government-run secondary school.

​

The school provides 60 additional places each year for primary learners from Hope4Malawi’s primary feeder schools who pass the Standard 8 exams.

​

2024 was a milestone year for Hope Secondary. The school’s first 49 students to reach Year 4 graduated from secondary education after completing their final National Government exams.

 

Most students at Hope come from poor households and would otherwise not have the chance of a secondary school education.

​

The school has four classrooms, administration and student toilet blocks, running water and five teacher houses. Solar panels provide light and power, enabling students to continue their studies after dark.

 

The fully resourced science laboratory, library and computer room offer motivational learning opportunities rarely available at other schools.

​

It's a great working school but further development is needed.

 

With improvements in primary education, more children from Hope Secondary’s primary feeder schools are passing their entrance exams. Currently, there aren’t enough places for everyone.

 

The community vision is to build four more classrooms at Hope Secondary to enable two-form entry, doubling the places to 100 each year. A school hall is also needed for assemblies, parents’ meetings, exams, and other larger gatherings.

​

​Can you help us expand the school’s facilities to provide a great education for more children in future.

 

Thank you for helping more children to gain a secondary education.

Classrooms and libraries

Changing life chances for children

Working in an indoor classroom, with access to a fully-equipped library, is life-changing for school children.

​

In the last seven years, Hope4Malawi has funded nine primary school classrooms, three libraries, and three kitchens, built by local partners. 

 

Our focus, in partnership with the Ministry of Education, is to help develop the feeder schools to Hope Secondary by providing classroom blocks at Mpemba, Tapani, and Mafunde primary schools, plus libraries at Chimwembe and Mafunde primary schools. 

​

Hope4Malawi's well-stocked libraries provide children access to over 10,000 reading and reference books, which is transformative for learners and teachers.

​
