Renovation of buildings and facilities – Mapalo Community School

Chibombo

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.

Construction of 3 new classrooms – St Thérèse of the Child Jesus

Our pupil numbers have increased, and we have been forced to triple the size of the SIL and CP classes, double the size of the CM1 class, and use the parish hall – which is outside the school grounds – for the CM2 class. We therefore wish to plan ahead for the start of the next school year.

Construction of 3 new classrooms and renovation – Tamaam School

In rural areas around Hargeisa, many children from low-income families face significant barriers to accessing quality education due to the lack of schools, long distances to existing educational facilities, and limited financial resources. As a result, many children are unable to attend school or continue their education. Girls and vulnerable children are particularly affected by these challenges. This project aims to address these problems by building a school that provides accessible, safe, and affordable quality education for children from disadvantaged families. The school will help improve literacy, create equal educational opportunities, and contribute to the long-term development of the local community.
