About this Project
In 2024, Nakondwa Primary School, located in the area of Group Village Headman Chimombo under Traditional Authority Msakambewa in Dowa, began constructing a three-bedroom teacher’s house to address a critical shortage of teachers’ housing. The school currently has six teachers for grades 1 through 8, but only four houses—two of acceptable standards and two substandard—are available. This shortage forces some teachers to commute long distances, resulting in inconsistent attendance and unattended classes.
The community has co-invested $1,594.52 with Mudzi Connect to support the construction. Major activities in this final phase include plastering, painting, fixing fisher boards, and flooring. The majority of the funding will be used to purchase materials, with a portion allocated for labor costs. Completion of the house is expected to improve teacher retention, reduce absenteeism, and enhance the quality of education for students at Nakondwa Primary School.
