#333333;\">Situated 85km (53 miles) west of Harare lies Mutimusakwa Primary School, where 9 teachers attend to 278 students in early childhood development (ECD) through to grade 7. The school, founded in 1915, is co-located with a secondary school of the same name.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">While each class size is expected to have 40 learners, each currently has an average of 30 students. Over the years many children have transferred to other schools or have had to leave school entirely, their families unable to afford school fees. In addition to tuition support, students urgently need text books and exercise books, furniture and maintenance of\u00a0school premises and access to computers. From 2019, ITAI, in partnership with Girls R Us (GRU) began supporting 4 students at primary level; one has since begun form 1 at the secondary school. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #333333;\">ITAI is committed to providing ongoing support to these students, as well as other students of Mutimusakwa Primary School.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Board Members Tafadzwa (Switzerland) : t.mlambo@itai.africa Tafadzwa (Taf) was born and raised in Zimbabwe before going on to receive BSc Hons and MSc Med degrees from South Africa and a PhD from the University of Freiburg in Germany.
