Help Construct 1x2 classrooms for 115 vulnerable

By Prof Dhally M. Menda | Founder

Dear Friends of Save The girls

Greetings from Zambia!

I’m hereby acknowledging receipts of $695.47 equivalent ZMK 15,220 on the 14^th of July 2021.

On behalf of the Executive management and the community at large, I would like to appreciate every one for your generosity towards this project. Without your helping hand from your good heart, Save The Girls would have not managed to provide quality education to vulnerable children in the marginalized community like children in Nyakuwalo village. With this donation we would be able to start the foundation box. After receiving this donation, we mobilized the community to bring local materials on the project site.

Currently most of the local building materials are on the project site as seen in the pictures where we had a meeting with the community members; we are remaining with the building sand to brought on the site.

By End of this month, we will kickstart the project with the foundation box however due to COVID-19 the work will start slowly with the hope to receive more donations which will see us through the completion of the structure. The number of children has increased , soon it will start raining hence the need for an adequate classroom for children. Please share this project with your friends , we need your support .

Thank you so much

Best regards

Prof. Dhally M. Menda

Dear partners,

Greetings from Zambia!

On behalf of Save The Girls, Executive Management, I would like to thank you for the support rendered to us. As at 09^th April 2021, we have received a total of 441US$ equivalent of( Kwacha 9,123).

Construction works have started at the school site, with the digging of the foundation for a 1x2 classrooms school block (see picture). The second phase of the project will be the laying of the school’s foundation. We already foresee a big challenge for this phase, because of the increasing cost of building materials, e.g. cement, labor for qualified builders and other building materials as dictated by the economic melt down caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Looking at the fact that the available funds would not allow us initiate and complete the laying of the foundation, we opted to slightly delay the works, while looking forward to your generous financial support.

This is a zero reporting, as no expenditure has been made from the received funds. We hope with your upcoming financial support, we’ll be able to kickstart the works and show you progress in the next report.

When informed that Save The Girls had received US$ 441 towards the construction of the school, this is what Mr. Moffat, 46, had to say: “Thank you to all the Save The Girls’ partners for bringing the school project in Nyakuwalo Village. I remember how I used to walk to Mtema Primary School, when I started my Grade 1 education in 1983. The school was located 5-6 Km away from my home and I had to walk for hours and cross a chindindi stream, before reaching the school tired and exhausted. I managed to overcome this challenge, but most of my friends in the village gave up… So, Save The Girls bringing a school in our village, I can only thank God and pray for those people who are helping us”.

Thanking you for your continued support to the children of Nyakuwalo Village.
