MovingSchool hostel creating lasting success

The Yusuf Meherally Centre hostel, together with MovingSchool, has long provided senior students with a safe, supportive environment to complete high school and transition to tertiary education. The hostel offers secure accommodation, nutritious meals, daily and weekend homework support, and a range of extracurricular activities including drama, art, and music. The award-winning drama program stages successful productions each year. While the hostel initially served mostly boys, it now supports 20 young women completing high school. Demand continues to grow, and former students—now working in nursing, engineering, accounting, and teaching—serve as strong role models whose career paths closely mirror the aspirations of current students.

We are proud of

  • More than 10.000 children of illiterate and migratory workers have since 2001 received primary school education through Moving School.

  • Every donation received is used in Moving School India, except for regulation auditing & banking fees.

  • We create schools for children in remote areas who would otherwise never have an opportunity to be educated.

  • We are grateful that some of Moving Schools students have successfully attended university.

  • All work at Moving School in Denmark is on a volunteer basis.

  • We currently teach children in India for less than 1000 Danish kroner per child per year. This covers school uniforms, educational materials, teachers’ salaries and other incidentals that are required for the daily running of the facilities.

  • With much joy and enthusiasm, Moving School’s children are also taught art and drama. The hostel students have won numerous state awards for successful theatre productions.
