Improving nursery school facilities at Kiine School

The Nursery School at Chamba Valley provides pre-school education for about 90 young children, in nursery, middle school and pre-grade classes. The current premises comprise an old bungalow, built over 70 years ago and a 2 classroom block, built by Mission Direct in 2008. In 2025, we plan to build a 3-classroom block and office, which will allow the classes to move from the unsuitable bungalow into modern accommodation and expand to cater for more than 150 children. An option to repair and improve the bungalow has been discounted as the funds can be better invested on new facilities.

The new premises will allow more children to be better prepared for primary school. The estimated cost of the project is £25,000. In addition, we plan to paint a number of recently-built classrooms, at an estimated cost of £3,000.

This will be my first visit to Zambia and I am very much looking forward to participating in this project that will benefit so many children and families.
