Arco Iris Orphanage

IMG_1404

Situated in the outskirts of Maputo, this huge organization hosts more than 300 kids in different houses, and has a school on the property. Although Arco Iris has a good fundraising department – leading to a reasonable structure – it lacks the human resources that would give its children a sense of care and community. AISM is now filling this need, and at the same time offering exposure to a very different reality to our students. Our foci are on sports activities and making a better place for toddlers to live in and learn. In 2013, this project was awarded by AISA (Association of International Schools of Africa) as one of the best Service Projects in the region for the year.
