The 2013 Wissenbach Schools

the first of the 100 schools

We are pleased to present to you, the original four schools which started the 100 School Project.

These schools were built by the Wissenbach family, including Oliver, in 2013.

In October 2013, the Wissenbach family travelled to Malawi to help build the first Magic Future school, a team effort between The Magic Future Foundation, buildOn, and the communities of the school locations. In these locations there is a cycle of poverty that continues largely because of the inaccessibility of education and resources. Yet the community’s energy, passion and enthusiasm are incredible.

We couldn’t not include these schools in our count to 100, especially as Oli helped build them! We are so proud to share with you the details of the schools below:
