Project Overview

Detailed description of our project goals and methodology

On January 4, 2022, Mai Aisha Trust (MAT) officially opened Ngala Primary School, constructed in Namakanga village, Traditional Authority Mponda, with support from the World Care Foundation. The school began with classes for Standard 1 to 4, serving an initial enrollment of 325 pupils taught by six teachers. MAT equipped the school with 325 desks for pupils, six desks for teachers, stationery, and water drums. The comprehensive facilities include five classroom blocks for Standards 1-8, an administration block, a Masjid, a MAM House, a Madrassah block, and two boreholes that also serve the surrounding community.
