Pioneering a new school in Mityana!

The PEAS Education Consultant, Laura Brown, recently visited the school site. She came across one of the locals, a coffee farmer who will benefit greatly from the new school, and he told her his story:

"My name is Moses. I have lived in this house, with my wife Gladys, for over twenty years. I have 2 acres of land where I grow coffee beans. When they are ready I spread them out and people come to buy them by the cupfull.

I have five children. The oldest one is 18 and he is in secondary school in Mityana. It takes him over 3 hours to walk to school in the morning. None of my other children go to school. We were all very excited when we found out that a new school is being built right next door. We feel very lucky. I will make sure my children attend the school and study hard."

This is only one of countless similar stories. PEAS is addressing a real demand in the area for secondary education. Read more about Pioneer High School.
