This week, we were also delighted by a wonderful visitor on-site. The headmistress from Vinjeru School in Kapiri Mposhi came by and invited us to visit again. We are very happy that our paths are crossing once more, and we will likely pay a visit to Vinjeru School as early as next week. Meetings like this are incredibly important to us...
A great deal of progress was made this week on the toilet and composting plant projects as well.
Another week in Kashitu was once again full of work, movement, and key milestones that are gradually turning our long-term vision into reality. And even though there is still a lot of work ahead of us, each new day shows that change is no longer just a plan on paper. It is unfolding right before our eyes.
Work has resumed at full speed in Kashitu in recent days. Construction continues at a pace that reminds us that great changes do not happen overnight. They grow gradually—from every laid piece of masonry, every poured concrete foundation, and every task we tackle together.
We have made another important step forward on the construction site in recent days. The last course of masonry has been laid, slowly closing one of the major phases of the construction. The walls are now taking on their final shape, making it increasingly clear how the original plan is transforming into a real building. Every additional course of...
Construction work continues, and the new classroom is gradually beginning to take shape in its entirety. We are still laying bricks, and further courses of masonry are slowly raising the perimeter walls. This time, however, what comes next is also clearly visible—openings for windows and doors are being created in the masonry. The building is...
Two members of our partner organization, New Renato Community Society from Zambia, spent a week in Lesotho, where they completed an intensive professional training program organized by ČEZ, a.s. The program focused on two key areas—hands-on training in solar photovoltaic system installation led by Petr Jenikovský from ČEZ Obnovitelné zdroje,...
Work on the campus construction continues, and new rows of bricks push the entire project a bit further every day. Gradually, more courses of masonry are being added, the reinforcement cage for the stabilizing reinforced concrete ring beam is being prepared, and for safety reasons, we have extended the reinforcement that will be installed in the...
Work on the construction of the first classroom on the campus is progressing according to plan, and this week one of the most important milestones of the entire build was successfully completed—pouring the concrete foundation slab. Prior to the actual concrete pouring, it was necessary to carefully prepare the construction site, survey individual...
At the beginning of this week, we set to work on laying bricks for the new classroom building. Even before laying the first course of bricks, we had to carefully measure the entire area and stake out the floor plan. To prevent undesirable cracking of the concrete, we cut expansion joints into it, allowing for controlled movement of the structure....
As new buildings are gradually added in Kashitu, the need to think of the entire campus as one interconnected whole grows. For a well-functioning school campus, it is not enough to plan individual buildings in isolation; it is crucial to address their mutual relationships, infrastructural connectivity, and at the same time leave room for future...
