Kandongo Teacher House Feb 2024

TOUCH Ireland Projects 2024
As we start into a new year it’s time to provide an update on our ongoing Construction Project and how we are progressing.
We have three projects in progress as we enter 2024
1. Teacher House, Kandongo, Kaoma in the Western Province of Zambia.
2. Community School, Namakaka in the Southern Province of Zambia
3. Vulnerable Mothers Houses in Ndola, Copperbelt Province, Zambia
Today we will look at the Teacher’s House in Kandongo
The Community School in Kandongo had catered for approximately 300 children as a result of the new School Block constructed by TOUCH Ireland. These children come from the poorest families in the area and most are HIV/Aids orphans living with their grandmother or extended family. If not for this community school they would have no chance of an education and therefore little hope for the future.
Last year the Government constructed another New School Block and the number of children now attending the school has risen to over 1,000!
Last year we also constructed a Teacher’s House which usually encourages the Minister of Education to allot a paid trained teacher, which happened.
With this New Teacher’s House, we hope to secure another trained teacher which is now essential for the education of so many children.
