How we start a School

  • We pray that God will show us where He wants us to move.
  • We pray that God will bring sponsors for each project, whether they be entrepreneurs, businesses, churches, schools or individuals.
  • We talk with the village elders and discuss how they will support the school and what we will provide.
  • We assess the ‘teachers’ from the village – where possible we want the village to run the school – we need at least 2, but preferably 3 people trained to use the program.
  • We provide training for the ‘teachers,’ where possible, at an already established school. If this is not possible, we customise arrangements to suit the circumstances. The training takes 4-10 weeks depending on the individual ‘teachers’.
  • The School in a box arrives during this time, so that the teachers are familiar with the resources and can ask for help if needed.
  • The trained teachers go and set up the school. School begins!
