Tujatane Tongabezi Trust School

Zambia, Africa

The school provides education to the Tongabezi staff children, as well as children from the local community, in an area where educational funding and materials are scarce.

We have grown from a pre-school class with 15 children into a primary school with 107 children.  There are currently five classrooms, an adjoining office/library, a computer room, a library, and a storeroom.  Four qualified Zambian teachers and two assistant teachers are employed to teach our primary classes.  Their dedication and enthusiasm have resulted in fun and lively classrooms full of interest and activity.  The children are enjoying the chance to learn to work on computers, and to watch on video things that are outside of their experience.
