COMMUNITY PRE-SCHOOL’S ECD PROJECT

CHISUMA PRE-SCHOOL ECD

DIBUTIBU PRE-SCHOOL ECD

JEMBWE PRE-SCHOOL ECD

Jembwe pre-school is most in need. The building

is structurally unsafe and needs to be rebuilt

and fenced for the children’s safety. There are

zero resources in this school, not a table, chair,

playground or any educational resource.

JEMBWE PRE-SCHOOL ECD

Chisuma ECD class: they do not have their own classroom, and currently

share the school library which is also used as a storeroom.

CHISUMA PRE-SCHOOL ECD

Dibutibu pre-school has more by way of building infrastructure than

the other schools, but no playground equipment, and requires ongoing

educational training, resources and support.
