Groundbreaking news!

After years of parent/caregiver meetings, community surveys, and planning, a dream is coming to life! The first phase of construction is underway for a new Skills Training Center and Kafwa (community health worker) Hall at Zamtan Community School of Peace in Zambia.

Watch this video to hear from school board representatives, Kafwa members, and the project contractor, as they mark this exciting milestone. And listen closely - the joyful sounds of children playing in the background remind us who this center is truly for!

Designed to equip students with practical skills, the center will offer training in computer technology and catering/hospitality - the top two fields identified through community surveys. Beginning with grades 5-7, the curriculum will also integrate financial literacy and entrepreneurship, ensuring a well-rounded foundation for future opportunities.

The center will also serve as a gathering place for Kafwa community health volunteers to hold meetings, conduct trainings, and lead community education initiatives.

There’s much to be excited about at Zamtan!
