Led by Grace Sichinga, a former Corps Africa Volunteer, Kalambo School Management Committee is constructing a two-classroom block at Kalambo Junior Primary School in Zomba district. The project is 60% towards completion remaining with the roof, floor, and painting before it is ready for use. Once completed, the block will provide a conducive teaching and learning environment to not less than 120 students per academic year. Additionally, the project will enable the school to increase its enrollment as classes will increase from standard four to six which will offer an opportunity for other children around the community to access education at the school.
