SCHOOL VISIT
The primary school has just over 500 students from Grade 1-7. The children are taught over two periods by 14 caring and passionate teachers. Chigamane is an agricultural area, and this is a prominent subject at the school.

CHIGAMANE PRIMARY SCHOOL
The school teaches Portuguese, English, Maths, Arts, Natural Science and Social Science and plays a vital role to the only education these children will receive. Local leaders assist the school with campaigns for enrolment in the area, and the school remains flexible with the government uniform policy to reduce the cost. However for some families the tuition fees are still unaffordable and a small percentage of children will not receive any education.
Chigamane School has sturdy classroom buildings and a borehole with a hand-pump on site. The teaching team has kept a garden at the school for many years which helps children learn about water conservation horticulture.
Students take produce home to eat and sell some to raise funds to buy uniforms and school supplies for the most disadvantaged children.
"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples." - Mother Teresa
