The 20 trainees at Mwala community school have been very busy and have laid the foundations of three new fit-for-purpose hexagonal classrooms.

The new classrooms will replace inadequate and overcrowded tents that are currently being used as emergency classrooms at a school with over 500 pupils. The teachers and pupils are very excited to see the work taking place and the classrooms taking shape.

The trainees at Mwala are now 4 months into their training and although they are finding the work hard, they are enjoying the experience.

“I’m enjoying my training because each day I am learning something new. I’ve learnt how to mix concrete, how to build a foundation and how to make earth bricks. When I first started I didn’t think I would reach this far but now I’ve passed through challenges and managed it”.
Lister, Mwala trainee.

Over the next few weeks trainees will begin to lay thousands of earth bricks that they made from soil excavated on site, local river sand and a small amount of cement.
