Fr. Antony Pagani Primary School - Mabera
Fr. Antony Pagani Primary School, led by the Dimesse Sisters, is dedicated to ending harmful practices like FGM through education and community outreach. Join us in creating a future where every child thrives.
Founding the school
Fr. Antony Pagani Primary School was founded by the Dimesse Sisters in response to a harrowing experience in 2012 when they witnessed young girls returning from FGM ceremonies, many bleeding and in distress. Moved to act, the sisters set out to combat harmful practices through education. By 2017, they had acquired land and nearly completed construction, officially opening the school in January 2019 with 150 pupils. Since then, the school has become a beacon of hope, rescuing girls and empowering the community through education.
Our Mission and Vision
At Fr. Antony Pagani Primary School, we are committed to empowering girls and transforming communities through education. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for children, rescue them from harmful practices like FGM and early marriage, and instill hope for a brighter future.
Our Impact
Since opening in January 2019 with 150 pupils, the school has grown steadily, with a current enrollment of 472 students as of December 2024. Over the years, we have rescued countless girls from FGM and early marriages, giving them a chance to pursue their dreams. Many of our students have gone on to join national and extra-county secondary schools, marking a significant milestone in their journey to success.
Overcoming Challenges
Our journey has not been without challenges. Early on, resistance from the community made it difficult to increase enrollment as families prioritized dowry and cultural traditions over education. Despite hostility and setbacks, the Dimesse Sisters persevered, offering refuge to girls seeking freedom from forced marriage and harmful traditions. Through dedication and faith, we have steadily earned the community’s trust and witnessed remarkable growth.
Our school is more than a place of learning; it’s a sanctuary. We focus on:
