School Block Construction at Mamine Primary School in Majete 1.
Project Launch: 9-5-22
Majete Community Development Organisation will use $7,981.57 to construct a two-roomed classroom block at Mamine Primary School in Chikwawa District in the southern region of Malawi. The addition of two classes will ensure that all students at the school learn in a conducive environment in contrast to the status quo where 160 Standard 1 and 2 learners either learn outside under a tree or on rainy days they use a kitchen as a learning shelter.
Project Update: 12-12-22
Majete Development Community Organization (MACODO) in partnership with the community have completed 65% of the construction of Mamine Primary School in Majete 1, in Chikwawa. The two roomed classroom block has been roofed and plastering has already started. To fully complete it, flooring, plastering, painting, pointing and construction of drainage system remains and are expected to be completed by Dec 31, 2022. Interestingly the project leveraged 48 iron sheets from African Parks through Majete allowing the budgeted amount to be used for purchasing desks. 120 learners who are currently using a tree or a school kitchen as a learning shelter will benefit in using this block once completed.
Final Report: 10-31-23
Led by a CorpsAfrica volunteer Jolex Kaundama, Majete Community Development Organization (MACODO) has successfully completed the construction of a two-roomed classroom block at Mamine Primary School in Chikwawa District. With a leveraged investment of 42 iron sheets worth $2,000 from Majete Wildlife, the community organization used the saved budget to purchase 40 three-seater desks that are used by the 120 learners currently using the conducive learning spaces. A total of 61 people gained income from the project during the construction phase and 240 others are indirectly impacted by the project as they use the facilities in different ways. Few months after completion, the school reported an increase from 40% to 55% in pass rate because of their motivation to learn under a covered and safe space. Cumulatively, over 12,000 students will benefit from this block in the next 10 years. Additionally, the coming of the project encouraged other players to drill a borehole at the school that is being used by learners and the community.
