"No country can develop if most of its population is only educated to a primary level"

We have all benefited from education, its time to give others a chance.

Helping Does Make the Difference

FOMO’s School Project: Malawi Education system is in a chronic state and there is a major shortage of secondary school places. Selection to government secondary school is based on a points system and even if you pass Standard 8 then you may not get selected to go on to secondary school.

FOMO has worked hard to encourage the children through primary education, 200 children passed standard 8 in 2009, but only 44 were selected for government secondary schools.

In the past FOMO have found places for the children in local private secondary schools. In 2009 a large number of these private school were closed due to inadequate facilities. This basically means that children who pass, but are not selected have no chance to continue their education. The only alternative is to retake standard 8 in the hope they would fare better in what seems to be a bit of a school lottery to gain a secondary school place.

FOMO year on year anticipate that the numbers of children being denied a place in secondary school will increase from 2009 level. The Malawi government have no published plans to increase the available secondary places, therefore the children’s hard work and hopes will be unfulfilled.

FOMO can relieve the situation and give some children hope for the future by building a school. The funds needed are large but aren’t insurmountable and by careful planning FOMO can complete the school, (Phases 1 to 4) with your funding support within 4 years.
