KWATHU SCHOOL REPORT
Due to a Cholera outbreak in Zambia, schools were closed in January and part of February 2024. Our dedicated teachers and volunteers organized extra lessons for the children to ensure their education continues despite the challenging circumstances.
REOPENING OF SCHOOL
On the morning of March 12th, 2024, the much-awaited day arrived when the schools reopened their doors after a long closure caused by a cholera outbreak. Students and teachers alike were filled with excitement and anticipation as they returned to the familiar hallways and classrooms. It was a joyful sight to see everyone back in action, ready to dive back into their studies and activities. The school grounds buzzed with the sounds of laughter and chatter, signaling that it was indeed back to business as usual.

and peeps echoing through the air are music to our ears.
STAFF FARM VISITATION
The Kwathu staff members and volunteers at the farm were not just visitors, but actively involved in the daily tasks! They rolled up their sleeves and got to work. They started by preparing the land for planting, then moved on to cleaning the chicken house, giving the goats a disinfectant bath, and finally, applying fertilizer to the maize crop. It was truly a team effort, with everyone pitching in to make a difference!
