🏢 About the local organisation
The Center was started in 2000 with the aim to uplift education standards within the community. The nursery school started with only 10 kids, later there was collaboration with the church, which offered the church hall for a fee after which the enrollment went up to 25 and classes increased from nursery to class 5. Many kids who are visiting the school had dropped out due to financial problems faced by their families. Maendeleo Learning Center Kids are aged between 2-15 years for Pre-School to Standard 8. Now it has a population of 600 pupils. Currently the school is embarking on establishing a secondary school, called Reuben Community School.
