This school has been set up as part of an initiative by CITTA, a non-profit organisation founded by American artist Michael Daube. It is designed by New York-based architect Diana Kellogg. The school not only aims at educating underprivileged girls, but also to provide a place for women’s skill-building. The school will open in December 2020.
