Construction of Nakondwa primary school teachers' house
Project Launch: 11-1-23
Chimombo Village Development Committee will use World Connect Grant to construct a teacher's house at Nakondwa primary school. The school has 12 teachers with only 4 houses only, the rest of the teachers reside outside the school compound and travel long distances to work affecting classes and student pass rate as they in most cases report to work late or absent during the rainy season. The project will contribute to addressing the issue of low performance rate among the 598 learners at this school.
