Banani International School is a private, non-profit boarding school for girls in Grades 1 to 12. While inspired by the principles of the Bahá’í Faith, the school welcomes students of all backgrounds and fosters a deep respect for unity in diversity. Established in 1993 and registered with the Ministry of Education, Banani is governed by the William Mmutle Masetlha Foundation and led by a dedicated team of educators. At Banani, academic excellence is inseparable from moral and spiritual growth. We empower young women to think deeply, act with integrity, and develop a vision that is truly world-embracing.
The decision to establish a school exclusively for girls was informed by education statistics in Zambia at the time. Today, the William Mmutle Masetlha Foundation remains firmly committed to girls’ education as a vital driver of human progress both material and spiritual.
Guided by the Bahá’í principle of the equality of women and men, Banani International School believes that civilization cannot advance without the full participation and partnership of women in all aspects of life.
