Project Report | Feb 9, 2018
First STEAM girls school launched in Khayelitsha

By Rethabile Sonibare | Project Leader

We are off to a soaring start as we approach the one-month marker for Molo Mhlaba Schools inaugural school year. Every day our enrolment is increasing, and we are now up to 18 girls, which means we have already filled one full class!

The girls are learning about computers, playing with Legos, exploring shapes and colours and going on field trips to the local library. With their high energy and enthusiasm, we are ecstatic for all that we are going to accomplish in this 2018 school year.

In the past few weeks we have also been thankful for all of the outpouring of support from our community, which has ranged from the donations of cleaning materials and toilet paper (imperative for running a school full of little ones), to multiple visits from journalists wanting to tell our story via newspaper, television, and radio. It has been a very exciting time for us to share with others our unique approach to education. 

While we are proud of all that we have accomplished so far with Molo Mhlaba School, we still have a long way to go in continuing to create and develop safe spaces for girls to access quality education within the communities they call home. For this reason, we ask for your continued support of our work in providing girls with STEAM education that lays foundations for successful futures.
