Throughout a typical day at Mukuru, all the students learn both job skills and academic subjects. Students take classes in Math, English, Science, and History in regular classrooms just like the ones we have here in the US. Some students live on campus and others walk to school from their homes.

After grade eight, some students go on to study at the secondary school level, but not everyone is able to do this because they can’t afford the tuition. Most students from Mukuru that go on to secondary school receive scholarships. The other students that don’t go on to the next school level either stay home and help their families, or go out and get a job. Mukuru students are well prepared to go out into the working world after the good training at their school. They are very appreciative of the education they’ve received and Lutheran World Relief uses gifts marked Stand With Africa to help them and their school.
