Nava Foundation is supporting the set up and operation of 'The Tin School', a non for profit community primary school in the Ugandan Mabira Forest for children aged 5 -10 years old.

​

For the children in Kimwani and neighboring villages, their

nearest school is 1 hour walk away. Most of the people that live

here don’t have cars, they navigate the dangerous roads on foot-

tackling the motorbikes and mud tracks in the village. This is a

very rural poverty stricken area where most of the locals are

farmers, unable to afford school fees for their

children. The community is coming together to create a school lead by the village church

​

At The Tin School, children will walk no more that 10 minutes to school. The aim is to make school more affordable & obtainable for children in the village. Parents will be able to 'pay' with crops, vegetables or any other produce. Those who are still not able will be referred for social support. 

​

The Tin school is all about making education accessible.

​

The Tin School is teaming up with Century Tech to offer AI software support for English, Maths and Science allowing children to thrive at their own pace.
