Namakaka Community School 2024

Leave no child behind - You can be forgiven for thinking sometimes “is it all worth it” does anything ever change!
Well Read ON!
Access to good education is a huge problem in vast rural areas of Zambia.
In a small clearing, around 190 children sit in a makeshift classroom of Mud Blocks and straw shelters. This was set up by the community themselves, with the resources they have. However, Bush schools like Kapondo Community School provides a space for education for Children. There are no toilets, desks, or even chairs in the school.
However, what is surprising is the level of enthusiasm for school as children walk up to 10km from their homes in the surrounding area.
When you look at the school it will remind you of many a school, we have replaced over the last twenty years and there are still so many more of them! However, when you stop and think this school will continue to educate more children in isolated areas, then it is surely worth it.
With your support we will provide Food for these children. In 2023 we will build a solid school structure here for the children. We will build a two-classroom block with one office.
“If you wish to move mountains tomorrow, you must start by lifting stones today”-so goes an African proverb.
