Donate to help the Nakawa school in Zambia afford a bus

Cynthia & Silumba are an extraordinary couple living in the remote village of Nakawa, approximately 70kms from Livingstone. Recognising the need for sustainable development in their community, Cynthia and Silumba set up the Nakawa Community Academy providing meals and education for 120 children - and growing!

A formal education in Africa gives children and young adults the opportunity to develop skills that will allow them to earn a living and support themselves, their families and their communities in the future. Nakawa Community Academy is a preschool for children aged 3 to 5 years old.

The Chundukwa Foundation raises funds for community initiatives that need support. Through partnerships, we seek to leverage the resources, knowledge, networks and strengths of stakeholders to enhance positive impact. Nakawa Community Academy is a local initiative that is seeking to be self-sustainable and self-funding.

Nakawa is located in a remote and rural area of Zambia where distances are long and there is no public transportation is available. The community have the use of ONE CAR to transport 67 children to school on a daily basis. For older children who are not able to fit in this car, walking is their only means of transport to get to school. Some children walk up to 18kms per day to receive a basic education and others opt not to go to school simply because of the distance.

The situation has become urgent to raise the funds for a school bus. This will provide years of transportation for the school children of this community. A 34-seater school bus will cost USD 8,400.00 to purchase.

Your donation will be one seat closer to making this happen! Thank you so much!
