Located in Ward 23, Chegutu District, Mashonaland West, Zimbawe these community-based schools were founded by the residents of Lismore Farm to address the lack of educational facilities within a reasonable distance. Currently facing significant challenges, the school is using a dilapidated tobacco ban as classrooms, impacting the education of 457 enrolled students.
