The primary school “On May 1”, whose management is assigned by local authorities to the Sisters of Consolation since 1998, is located in the Liberdade 2 neighborhood of the city of Inhambane and hosts 2,600 children from four to fourteen, divided between levels of formal education in Mozambique ranging from kindergarten through seventh grade.<\/p>\n

This school is attended by 56 local teachers and 10 other employees, including part-time teachers and service staff. Local authorities do not have the funds to mount a minimal infrastructure for the operation of school, so the Congregation of Consolation and Delwende have had to take over the construction of such infrastructure .<\/p>\n

Initially classes were held under trees with the precarious conditions and problems, that representing hygiene, health and comfort and also on rainy days, could not afford the classes. Palhotas (built with reeds and coconut leaves) were raised that improved but did not make the situation tidied.<\/p>\n

Subsequently cement 15 classrooms were built and 12 palhotas were repaired, which reduced the three daily shifts to only two class and meet the targets set in the program for each stage.<\/p>\n

In the following efforts palhotas were replaced by cement classrooms and were also built some toilets for teachers, students and employees,  as well as premises for the guardianship and custody of the material and teaching equipment.<\/p>\n
