Hope School Mozambique

Who is Hope School?

Mozambique’s education system faces critical challenges, including scarce resources and limited access to quality education. Despite efforts to expand access, overcrowded classrooms, under-resourced schools, and gaps in teacher training have led to compromised educational outcomes. The situation is particularly dire in public schools, where class sizes can reach 70-80 students, reducing teaching hours and affecting literacy rates. As a Commonwealth nation surrounded by English-speaking countries, Mozambique’s lack of early English instruction leaves its students at a significant disadvantage. English is only introduced at the secondary level, too late for students to achieve fluency needed for higher education and global opportunities.

The Hope Mozambique School Project is a transformative initiative to address these gaps. By establishing a high-quality, self-sustaining primary school in Beira, Mozambique. This school will offer smaller class sizes, a robust curriculum, including English as a second language, opening doors to further study and career opportunities and provide scholarships for children who face barriers to education due to the challenges of poverty. Beyond education, it will foster community development by creating jobs and empowering local families.

While the school is designed to be self-sustaining, we need your help to build the infrastructure. For $360,000, we can build a primary school that will open doors for children who currently lack access to quality education. Thanks to generous contributions, we’ve already raised $40,000 toward the initial $180,000 needed to break ground.

The school offers a roadmap out of poverty for students in Mozambique. Students who cannot access appropriate education through lack of resources; public school classes being overcrowded; family circumstances such as illness, will have access to high quality education.
There is also increased employment opportunities for the community, including teaching jobs for graduates, school cleaners and gardeners, school security, canteen staff, nursing and wellbeing staff, uniform suppliers, school resource suppliers, IT support staff, and so on.

The school infrastructure relies on donor giving, but this a short-term need. The land for the proposed school site is owned by the church, Hope Ministry. Once established the school generates its own income.
