ASEM Schools

What was once the homes for thousands of children (1992 to 2010 ), Macurungo Center and Manga Center, evolved into Educational Centers with primary and secondary school.

Macurungo Primary School

ASEM’s primary school "Jorge José Traquino” (***) provides education to children for over twenty years and is teaching from grade 1 to 7. The school gives a special attention and support to orphans and children living in situation of vulnerability.
Thousands of children have had the opportunity to graduate after conclusion of our Macurungo School.
