Vila Maninga provides schooling for many children in the community and surrounding rural areas. But it also offers vital training for the adults too.

Most adults at Vila Maninga have not had the chance to go to school because of the war and the lack of schools in Mozambique.

Literacy and health and hygiene classes are all provided at the community, in addition to a range of vocational training programmes too. Skills which some adults learn range from sewing and crocheting to building and thatching.

Some of the adults work on the farm which not only helps Vila Maninga be self-sufficient, but also teaches much needed farming techniques.

After completion of the new primary school, the existing buildings will be used adult literacy, and vocational training.
