Kawama Community School, 2010
Previously there was:
Kawama is a peri-urban community on the edge of Ndola, close to the border with the Congo. In this poor community, few enjoy electricity and running water and there are not enough school places.
With your support:
This project involved the construction of a much needed new school and resource centre for local community group Kawama Widows and Orphans Project (KWOP). The project was funded by the COINS Foundation.
The School building uses our unique Cool School design and is made from Parry roof tiles and soil blocks. One additional innovation is the use of Parry waffle flooring that gives a 40% saving in the volume of concrete used.
Since we left…
Since opening, the school has increased attendance from 212 to over 260. The new facility is proving to be an important part of the community. In 2012 we began our second Secondary School near Kawama Community School, enabling children to continue their education.
