Hori Chan and Guru Chan founded the Mothua School

Hori and his son, Guru, in a remote village, belonged to a tribe long excluded from formal education. Schools were distant dreams, leaving children without learning opportunities. Determined to change this, Hori and Guru identified idle spaces like cattle grounds and envisioned them as makeshift schools.

They rallied volunteers from their tribe, often elders with life experience, to teach the children despite their lack of formal training. Simple teaching aids were created, and the cattle ground became an open-air classroom.

Lessons covered basic literacy, practical skills, and traditional knowledge. As word spread, others donated books, and even retired teachers joined. The makeshift school thrived, proving that with determination, education could be accessible to all. Hori, Guru, and the community broke barriers, creating hope for a future where learning was a right, not a privilege.
