Help Build a new Classroom for Mankhanda School


Mankhanda Primary School in rural Zambia has 335 students sharing just two classrooms, 50 desks, and three teachers. While the community has worked hard to construct makeshift shelters, many children still learn exposed to rain, wind, dust, and heat. Together with the Ministry of Education and the local PTA, we’re building two new classroom blocks and equipping them with desks and learning materials. Your support will help finish what the community started, and give every child a fairer chance to learn.
