Problem/ Context

Mapalo Community School is a government-run public school in Zambia serving an estimated 700–1000 learners. The school faces infrastructure challenges that require attention to ensure that learners have a safe, adequate and supportive environment in which to learn.

The proposed project will address the school's priority needs, which include deteriorated classroom buildings, insufficient classroom space, inadequate desks and benches, limited teaching and learning materials, and deficiencies in water and sanitation facilities.

Detailed project description

Hearts Educators proposes to improve the learning environment at Mapalo Community School, a government-run public school in Zambia.In collaboration with the school administration, the project will prioritise the rehabilitation of deteriorated classrooms, the construction of additional classrooms, the provision of desks and benches, and the supply of essential teaching and learning materials. Improvements to water, sanitation and electricity will also be considered through a needs assessment.

The project is intended to improve the safety, adequacy and functionality of the school environment, support effective teaching and learning, and help the school accommodate learners appropriately.Through this initiative, we hope to contribute to a more supportive learning environment in which children have better access to the facilities and educational resources they need to learn and thrive.

The pupils in the CI class are housed in a temporary shelter made of straw. There are 55 pupils in total, and they struggle to work properly given the circumstances. During break time, all the pupils go to the village square, which is about 400 metres from the school, to get their breakfast and often return late, hence the need for a school canteen.

School image description

God’s Love Christian School is located in a rural farming community in Uganda, where many families depend on small-scale farming to survive. Many parents struggle to afford school requirements, and our school also provides education to orphans and children from disadvantaged families who have limited access to educational opportunities.

Our school faces challenges in providing a safe, comfortable, and well-equipped learning environment for all children because of limited resources. The growing educational needs of our learners make it difficult to provide adequate classroom facilities and the necessary learning environment for effective teaching and learning.These challenges affect the quality of education and the learning experience of our children. We would like to improve our school infrastructure and learning facilities so that every child, regardless of their family’s financial situation, can access quality education in a safe and supportive environment.

Through this project, we hope to improve learning conditions, support teachers in delivering effective lessons, and give orphans and disadvantaged children a better opportunity to learn, develop their talents, and build a brighter future.
