Sakubita School |
| |
|
This project shall provide desks and supplies to Sakubita community school.
The community school is more than 10 years old. Initially a shelter type of classroom was built with the help of the Catholic Church. Most desks are broken. Now the community is in the process of constructing a mud, pole and grass roof building that also will serve as class room. Therefore there is great need for more desks for the pupils and class room furniture to make the school conducive for learning. The school has no books or teaching aids which makes teaching difficult since the school is owned and run by the community with little support from the government. The school has three untrained community volunteer “teachers”.
Sakubita is an extremely poor village type of informal settlement on the fringes of Livingstone town in Zambia where most people are unemployed and many mud houses with grass roof collapsed during the last heavy rains and Rotary provided shelter boxes to many of those families that lost their homes.
The host club will be Livingstone Rotary club in district 9210 in Southern Africa
Club contact persons: Haakon Spigseth: haakon@responsenetwork.org and Arnfinn Solli: solli@responsenetwork.org

The cost will be US$ 20 000 which will be used to buy school supplies, desks and school furniture. |
