Transforming South Africa, one girl at a time.
Our name, 'molo mhlaba' , is derived from the first computer code written in University Computer Science degree program which is ‘Hello Earth/World’ and is an apt translation for our STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and design, and maths) focus as a network. Moreover, we aim to show African children the possibilities that exist so they can embrace their world.
Founded in 2018 as Khayelitsha's first and only girls only school, molo mhlaba is pioneering a new model of education for South African children living in urban townships.
By operating the first same sex network of Montessori-inspired STEAM schools in under served communities, we are pioneering a model of education that provides quality outcomes at an affordable price.
