Q2 Education Update

By Ian Mills | Chief Conservation Officer

Over the past three months, African Bush Camps Foundation (ABCF) has continued strengthening its education programming across Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, supporting improved access to quality learning opportunities for children and young people living in remote conservation landscapes. Through ongoing engagement with schools, educators, and community stakeholders, ABCF has supported environmental education initiatives, youth leadership development, and school-based support programmes designed to strengthen both educational outcomes and long-term conservation stewardship. The Junior Rangers programme has continued to provide students with practical environmental learning experiences, helping foster a deeper understanding of wildlife, ecosystems, and sustainability, while broader education support has focused on creating safer, more inclusive, and better-resourced learning environments that contribute to healthier and more resilient communities over time.

Digital Literacy for Mambanje Primary School

By Koinonia Baloyi | Communications and Fundraising Officer

For nearly two decades, African Bush Camps Foundation has supported Mambanje Primary School, fostering educational development and improving the quality of life for the Mambanje community. We have renovated classrooms and teachers’ accommodation and expanded the school nutrition program.

In 2025, African Bush Camps Foundation completed further renovations at Mambanje Primary School, including erecting a school fence and drilling a new borehole to secure access to clean drinking water for learners and teachers. We’ve built a fully equipped kitchen and dining shelter at the school to support daily meal preparation for learners. With running water, sinks, pots, utensils, and a storeroom, the new space enhances efficiency and hygiene. The new kitchen supports the daily nutrition program, providing two meals to learners, which encourages attendance and ensures that those who travel long distances can learn without hunger. The dining shelter offers a clean, shaded space where learners can eat safely, protected from the elements.

We are excited about our 2026 plan to build a computer lab that will provide learners with access to digital literacy, e-learning opportunities, and essential technology. This facility will introduce digital tools to expand access to modern education, bridge learning gaps, and equip learners with skills for future academic and career success. Additionally, we will continue delivering daily nutritious meals, conducting regular maintenance, and supplying necessary educational resources to ensure learners and teachers have everything needed for an effective learning experience.

Our ongoing efforts at Mambanje Primary School are actively improving the quality of education and reducing barriers to learning.

Thank you for partnering with us.

We Are Building a Life-Changing High School

By Koinonia Baloyi | Communications and Fundraising Officer

Donate towards the school before the 12th of September, and GlobalGiving will match your donation up to $1,000!!

Our goal is to keep learners in school beyond grade 7. Currently, the nearest high school is 12 miles (20 km) away from Maunga Village. For many families, the high costs of travel, boarding, and tuition make continuing education impossible, which forces many young learners to drop out after primary school.

We are building a high school in Maunga Village to give learners the chance to continue their education close to home. This will ease the financial burden on families and open doors to a brighter future.

Our expansion plan includes essential improvements such as a fully equipped science lab, additional classrooms, a new dormitory, and more housing for teachers. This year, we are excited to begin renovating the science lab: a critical step toward providing quality education.

Fully Equipped Science Lab: Construction and renovation of a science laboratory to enhance STEM education $45,000

Additional Classrooms: Building new classrooms to accommodate more learners and provide a conducive learning environment $40,000

Dormitory Facilities: Establishing boarding facilities to support and accommodate learners who live far from the school. $20,000

Teacher Housing: Adding more on-site housing to attract and retain qualified teachers. $50,000

This school will serve learners from Maunga Village and other surrounding villages who cannot access or afford schooling in Livingstone town.

Partner with us to build a high school in Maunga Village. Expanding Maunga will provide opportunities for learners to continue their education close to home and ease the financial burden on parents. Join us i making education more accessible for every learner in Maunga Village.
