St. Francis Moto Hope Center and Academy Library
Our ultra-modern library is within the school compound and hence easily accessible by the pupils. The library is spacious enough to accommodate more than a hundred pupils at a go. We have library and maktaba lessons scheduled in the regular school timetable. The students are also free to access the library any other time for research and leisure reading. The library is also open to staff members who access and borrow books and other resources by use of a registered card.
- Books and Resources - Based on the main classes of knowledge we have classified all the books using the decimal method. Besides the relevant course books, we have stocked all genres of books ranging from computer and technology, religion, science, leisure reading, sports, and business among others.
- Community Extension - We have extended and opened our resources and services to registered library users in Molo and its environs who comply with the laid down school library rules. This extension program is mainly intended to benefit the students from neighboring schools that have no library.
- Koha Library System - Ours is an ultramodern library with all its resources and books cataloged in the automated Koha system. This makes it easier to search for and locate books on the shelves. Additionally, it makes it possible to link our library with other library congress and share resources.
Computer Classes
With the massive transformation and trends in the education sector, it is imperative that we give our students the upper hand and higher competing ground. To ensure that our students fit into our dynamic world perfectly, we have introduced computer classes. They are taught basic computer skills, typing, and how to use the library system. All our efforts are aimed at making our pupils knowledgeable and unique. The upper grades section of our library is supplied with laptops that are connected to the internet to facilitate research and exhaustive reading.
Transport
We provide door to door (where access to the residence is possible, and designated stop areas where otherwise) transport services to our day scholars for students residing in Molo and its environs. Our qualified and experienced drivers ensure the children’s safety. Additionally, teachers accompany the students to their drop-off and pick-up locations for their safety.
Moto Hope Clinic
Moto Hope Health Clinic is well equipped and NHIF compliant with qualified and registered health practitioners. It is located within the center to adequately serve the larger family of Moto Hope Center and Academy. Any child who falls sick at school or goes to school sick is adequately attended to. The nurses also help to administer and supervise medication to students who require regular medication at school hours and safely store their medication at the clinic’s storage facilities. The medicine is safely stored in a locked cabinet, available for use to students under the supervision of the school nurses.
Students are required to report to the teacher in class if they feel unwell during a lesson, or the matrons if in the hostels, and the teacher on duty if outside class. They are then issued a pass to permit them to seek medical attention at the clinic. The clinic offers all clinical and laboratory services for emergency and preventive care. Plans are underway to start a weekly eye clinic. Yearly medical camps are led by doctors and medical personnel from the USA who partner with our local health professionals.
Catering
St. Francis Moto Hope Center and Academy has a modern kitchen that is fully operational within the school. The students have their meals in the meticulously clean multi-purpose hall. We offer nutritious, whole, and well-balanced meals that meet the needs of all the students in the school. We uphold the strictest standards of hygiene while handling food.
The Moto Hope Mission Agricultural Extension and Resource Center (Farm).
The farm boasts a herd of dairy cattle, pigs, poultry, cereal, and vegetable gardens. Students enjoy fresh farm produce from it. Aside from adding healthier foods to our menu, our little green space has proved to be an invaluable teaching asset for Science and Environmental studies. Children are introduced to basic farming skills to be able to cope with the highly agricultural Kenyan society.
