The school was originally built around 1960 when it was just mud buildings and iron sheets. Hand in hand has assisted in the construction of 5 secondary school classrooms, 2 pre-primary school classrooms and a community clinic, we have also funded the refurbishment of 10 primary school classrooms. During this time the local community have built teachers houses a toilet bock and had electricity connected and have provided most of the labour for construction projects. All this has resulted in the schools ability to cater for over 500 children from the local area.
Hand in Hand has linked a Chelmsford secondary school with Mogonjet facilitated the communication between them. Mogonjet have future plans to add another science laboratory and a computer classroom to the secondary school facilities.
