Musawenkosi
Mukhanyo started a primary school at its campus in 2010. Today this is the Musawenkosi Christian Academy with 120 learners from grade 1 to 7.
Musawenkosi (meaning grace of God) was started especially for orphans and other vulnerable children. Today children from the neighborhood are also welcome, but more than 85% are still vulnerable children in one or other way.
This school ministry was an initiative of many people and especially Dr Flip Buys, the former principal of the Reformed Theological College, Mukhanyo. Today the school is not official linked to Mukhanyo; it only uses the premises of Mukhanyo who owns the land.
Through the years the school has grown and now has children up to Grade 7. The ideal is to continue to be a high school as well, going through to Grade 12, according to Jeremie Havugimana, secretary of the School Board. We must be “faithful to our mission to be relevant in the community”, he says.
Discipline and the Christian character is visible when one enters the premises of the school. The school is also thankful for the high standards the teachers are able to maintain.
The establishment of the school was made possible by donors from the USA and the Netherlands who are still involved and visiting the school regularly. The School Board is thankful to God for their continued interest
