MCF Junior School was started as result of the overwhelming number of un educated children in our community some of which marles children’s foundation is already supporting with basic needs of life.
The founders Mary and Charles both former street children currently help the homeless and orphans around Wakiso District and the suburbs of Kampala city, with our increased desire to educate more children in the community we deemed it right to start a mission school in our community.
We believe that this school will help increase the number of educated children in this area which will help reduce illiteracy and boost the economic status of our community members and thus contribute the reduction of poverty amongst of our people.
