The official opening of the Matilyo Community School in Kapiri took place on the 12th of April 2011. Over 500 people were in attendance to witness this important day in Kapiri Mposhi District. These included 100 women from the SHGs, 100 parents with children at the Matilyo JCM centre at that time, 100 youth in the JCM program, and 20 members from the CCLC and JCM staff. To this date, this community is still running and supported by government.
