Unable to fin any reliable sources to assert so much as existence. Of the sources cited, 2 belong to the organisation itself, one is YouTube, one reads like an advert, number 5 links to this, which is a reasonable source, but gives little more than a location and the final source (#4) barely mentions the organisation.

Delete From its web site: "most of the building work is almost complete and basic school furniture has arrived, however we still require funding to develop and sustain the project and welcome the first students...”, with a 2009 copyright date. Not yet in existence as a school. It may be possible to write an article about the Matema Educational Trust. There are circumstances when it is appropriate to delete a high school article.

'Hey, I've removed any info which can't be referenced, and added the link to the charity commission (and raindance), which regulates all charities in the UK and also lists the company accounts on their website. The charity's already supporting the local infrastructure in the region, but some of these things have been left out simply because they can't be referenced (there isn't even electricity in that area) -so no internet-, so that's all been left out! I hope you trust that's sufficient, and I've tried to leave the details short and reference'able! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Filmanywhere (talk • contribs) 08:24, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was asked to take another look. The beginning of instruction cited was a one day film school "the inaugural lesson for Matema College " Tghat is not enough to justify an article. This does not mean the have an educational program. The remaining sourceable material that now comprises the article remains only a general description of the education problems in Malawi. I consider this a possible G11, speedy promotional. DGG ( talk ) 14:13, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
