Chigodi Community Based Child -Care center (CBCC)

About this Project

With an investment of $6,113.42, the Chiponda Village Development Committee, located in the area of Traditional Authority Msakambewa in Dowa district, plans to implement an education project by constructing a modern Community-Based Childcare Center (CBCC). This new structure will replace the current facility, which is in poor condition. The project aims to attract more children to the center, reduce illiteracy among under-five children, and increase the current enrollment of 93 children (47 females and 46 males). Additionally, the new CBCC, featuring a cement floor, will help reduce common infections like the flu and runny noses, which are prevalent due to the existing mud floor.

The Chigodi CBCC construction in Chiponda Village, T/A Msakambewa, has made significant strides and is now at the roofing stage. The school, designed to provide a learning space for 230 children, has had its walls completed, along with installed window and door frames. With only flooring, skirting, and painting left and is expected to be completed by March 2025. The project promises to improve early childhood education by providing a safe and conducive learning environment, setting children on the path to primary education. The Chiponda community is grateful for Mudzi Connect's support in making this project a reality.

Chiponda Village Development Committee is all smiles after their Community Based Childcare Center  which has a storage space is close to completion. The project which responds to the direct needs of the people, will see 120 students (70 female) having a conducive learning shelter. Additionally the structure will  provide venue for various community meetings when fully completed as few activities such a completing the floor, gutter, painting the outside, erecting toilets, and furnishing the CBCC are hanging due to funding shortages attributed to the  instability in the cost  of project materials.
