A group of Prep School teachers visited Shitima School in Kabwe, Zambia. The school is run by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart and the pupils are mostly orphans and street children, who have been making money from selling plastic bags on the streets. We met Edgar, whose father died when he was young at the school. Edgar had been living on the streets but after six years at Shitima School has now completed his final exams. He dreams of becoming a teacher but without our help would be unable to fund his university education. Becoming a teacher would not only change his life, but also that of his whole family.

Zamcog supports the Shitima School, which began as a one-room classroom with only 8 students in the outskirts of Kabwe, Zambia. In the past 11 years, it has been transformed into a fully functioning boarding and day school for over 446 pupils, with two separate schools: the Robert Shitima Primary School and the Markit Secondary School, both of which boast bright and engaged students of all ages that are achieving some of the highest grades in Zambia
