Project Luangwa helps to support over 20 schools, ranging from pre-school to Secondary. Classes may have up to 100 children sitting on the floor; there are few desks, and an average of one text book for every seven children. Our aim is to improve the quality and availability of education for all.

Story

 

Mfuwe Day Secondary School has never had the privilege of having a library and without such a basic resource the pupils have very little chance to look at reference books or to expand their English Language skills by reading fiction.

The Zambia school curriculum is based on the English Language, yet there is almost no literature available at the school. And when your family is struggling to feed themselves books don't usually appear on the shopping list.  So, without either reference books or the internet, research is practically impossible.
Our library design will provide shelf space for 14,500 books as well as desk and seating space for 34 students, along with a place for the full time librarian and photocopying facilities.
 
It will cost $33,000 to build the library, with a further $7,000 required to provide desks and shelving.
