The School

In 2008, the school opened with 30 children attending nursery school. All the children receive two meals a day from the You Feed Them farm and safe drinking water. The children are selected each year by the YCBO. One third of the children are sponsored, one third of the students' parents are employed and able to pay the tuition fees, and one third of the students' parents or caregivers work on the farm in exchange for their children’s tuition. This model ensures that the school and the farm support one another. Government testing of the children has found the students in the top 10 percentile of all schools in the area. Today over 250 kids are thriving!
