Project Launch: 12-31-69

Led by Claudia Njoloma, Kasatsi School Management Committee will facilitate the construction of a school block at Kasatsi primary school in Nyundo village, Dowa Malawi. Currently, the school has four classroom blocks for 1,156 learners, seating 144 in each class against the recommended 60 learners. This demotivates learners to go to school as they learn outside leading to increased school dropouts. This project will contribute to reducing the high rates of illiteracy as it will improve the quality of education among the vulnerable rural children. The project will also reduce overcrowding per classroom.
