About your school

St. Joseph's Primary School now has 561 pupils enrolled, made up of 280 boys and 281 girls. The children at St. Joseph's Primary School range from Standards 1 to 8.

There are 8 permanent classrooms at the school and the pupils are taught by a total of 9 teachers. The school’s water source is a borehole with tap in the school grounds, which is very close to the kitchen. There are 10 pit latrine toilets on site which are shared equally between the boys and girls.

Malawi is one of the world’s poorest countries, with one in four people living in extreme poverty. It is also one of the worst hit by HIV and AIDS. More than a million children in Malawi have been orphaned by the disease.

Malawi was the first country to benefit from our school feeding programme and this remains our largest programme country. Today, with your help, we’re providing meals to around 30% of all primary school-age children across the country!
