Silelo School was built by community members and run by local untrained teachers. The site consisted of two mud huts and latrines. In 2011 The Butterfly Tree was given a grant to construct a 1×3 classroom block, two teachers’ houses and latrines. The new school opened in January 2011 and has since been passed as an examination centre.
