Something exciting is rising at Chikumbuso—a new science lab is taking shape.
For years, our students have learned science through imagination, shared materials, and the dedication of their teachers. They’ve drawn diagrams of experiments they couldn’t physically perform and studied concepts without the tools to explore them hands-on. And still, they’ve shown remarkable curiosity and determination.
Now, that is changing.
Our new science lab will give students—especially those in Grades 6 and 7—the opportunity to move beyond theory and into discovery. They will be able to mix, measure, observe, and experiment. Science will no longer be something they only read about, but something they experience.
This space is more than a classroom. It represents possibility.
For many of our students, access to a science lab opens doors to future studies in healthcare, engineering, teaching, and other skilled professions. It builds confidence, critical thinking, and a sense that they belong in spaces of learning and innovation.
Construction is underway, and each step forward is a reflection of a community that believes in these children and their futures. We are so grateful to you for making growth like this possible.
As the lab continues to take shape, we look forward to sharing more—especially the moment when students walk through the doors for the very first time.
Because of donors like you, curiosity has a home.
