Mavambo Orphan Care works with Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education.

Mavambo Learning Centre (MLC) is a learning facility targeting children aged 8 to 12 who have never been to school. Community volunteers assist in identification of the children for the programme. The social service staff invite the prospective caregivers and children for a one-on-one interaction to assess, interview, shortlist, profile, select, and enrol the learners. This facilitates the development of a comprehensive care plan to support identified children and offer relevant services. The children go through an accelerated literacy programme for a year, or 2 years at most, graduate from MLC, and are then integrated into formal schools around Caledonia, Mabvuku, and Tafara. MLC learners continue receiving education support in the form of uniform, stationery, school visits for education tracking, school fees, and links to skills and vocational training at an appropriate age.

Formal School Education Package

MOC supports orphans and vulnerable children (6-17 years) to access education through payment of school levies after screening/assessments. Children receive a comprehensive package that include stationery, uniforms and textbooks. Education support is limited to children in Primary and Secondary schools.

Second Chance Education

MOC supports Out of School Study Group (OSSG) to ensure school dropouts access education. This ensures that children who are out of school continue learning and are safe within the schooling environment.

Community Study Clubs

To ensure continued learning during crisis or pandemics, MOC facilitates virtual community study clubs. The children utilise online platforms for learning including Remote Area Community Hot spot for Education and Learning (RACHEL) and are assisted with qualified tutors. The organisation facilitates uptake of radio lessons as well.
