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.

School image description

The klapleu modern middle school is a school established in a rural area. It is planned to operate on a two-track basis from sixth grade through ninth grade, which means a projected total of 8 classrooms. However, since its opening in 2025, there have been only 4 classrooms instead of the 8 planned. From 20 students at the start, there are now 173 students spread across 3 grade levels (6th, 5th, and 4th). The growing student enrollment. Therefore requires the construction and equipment of the remaining 4 classrooms.

The CRS school, founded in 1995, serves students from disadvantaged backgrounds. As a result, it faces many challenges that affect academic performance. In addition, the poor condition of the restrooms makes the children feel uncomfortable. Consequently, they relieve themselves outside the school.

For the past three years, we have been renting a room and space to house our preschool.
We started with 40 students and now have 80. We serve students in the younger, middle, and older preschool classes, as well as a special education class designed to support children who left public school at a very young age, as well as those facing learning challenges, to help them overcome them.
With our limited resources, we are struggling not only to build our own school but also to accommodate more students.
