Overview

There was a single class school until late 1980. A second class and a dormitory were then built. The civil war of the 1990s led to the closure and the deterioration of the school, which was reopened ten years later. The school Mouddo hosts hundreds of students from the Andabba or Madgoul areas.

Climate

Mouddo has a hot desert climate (Köppen climate classification BWh). Mouddo is noted for its very high summer humidity despite being a desert town. This combination of the desert heat and high humidity makes the apparent temperatures seem even more extreme. The sky is usually clear and bright throughout the year.
