The School Building Project
Education provides the critical advantage to the advancement of the individual student participating in education – Through Education, people no matter their age are able to achieve more for themselves ~ see their dreams and aspirations fulfilled; as well as contribute more effectively to the well-being and prosperity of their communities; this is true the world over.
At the Mumba Children’s Project, the children of Mpongwe didn’t have a permanent weatherproof school-room, so while education was initially provided in the temporary school structure, building a permanent school room and office has been one of the charities major works programmes over the past 3-years.
The School Project has been a labour love, built on the foundations of providing hope for a better future for the children of Mpongwe, Zambia.
- Before the Permanent School Building, children had their lessons in the hut, or in the open.
- Bricks for the School Room & Office made on site by members of the village...
