Through donations from a board member, Mpala has managed to construct a school in he neighbouring Lekiji community and build an administration police residence. Apart from just building the school, other supporters have purchased and installed a water system at the school, and created the 'George Small Bursary Fund' (the late George Small who inherited the ranch from his brother Sam Small) to enable 8 Lekiji children attend secondary school. Mpala intends to expand this initiative through fund raising so that more children in the area can attend school.
