The Chiundira Village Development Committee has used a $9,378.00 co-investment from Mudzi Connect to construct a child-based care centre (CBCC) in the area of Traditional Authority Msakambewa. This structure, which is ready,  serves as a safe and conducive learning space for 130 children under five years old (70 girls and 50 boys) and 285 adult learners (162 women and 125 men) participating in literacy programs. Beyond its educational impact, the centre benefits the entire community, offering a proper venue for meetings that were once held under tree canopies. This initiative has become a cornerstone of learning and community engagement in Chiundira Village.
