This is a community school in Kapisha slum which currently educates 260 poor children ranging in age from 5 to 12 years in seven classes. The aim of the staff is to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged people. This project is a model to others of how committed people in a very poor community, with the help of western donors, can transform the prospects of the emerging generation. There are three qualified teachers to look after 130 children in the morning and another 130 in the afternoon in only two classrooms. The leader who oversees the running of the school, believes that they are receiving at least as effective an education as they would receive if they could afford to attend a government school. The present building requires renovation but despite efforts over several years, Kelvin has been unable to acquire ownership at a reasonable price and although some renovation work has been carried out, it has not been deemed wise to make significant changes without securing ownership of the premises.
