Project Launch: 10-14-24

The Chikudzo Development Committee, located in the area of Group Village Headman Mwesakumva under Traditional Authority Msakambewa in Dowa, is embarking on the construction of a two-room classroom block with an office space at Nakondwa Primary School. This second project at the school aims to upgrade the school to a full primary school and reduce the current 8 km distance that senior students walk to access education at nearby schools. The initiative is expected to lower dropout rates and allow Standard 8 students to write their Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB) exams locally. Additionally, it will contribute to reducing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, rape, and defilement cases in the area. The new block will also serve as a venue for community meetings, and the inclusion of office space will provide teachers with secure storage for teaching materials.
