This year, we have taken another major step towards building a reliable energy infrastructure for the Kashitu campus. Following last year's installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system with battery storage, delivered in partnership with ČEZ Group, we are now completing the campus's connection to the public electricity distribution grid.
The second half of June brought another busy week to Kashitu. After arriving in Zambia, Vašek met up with Twiza, and together they continued their journey to Kashitu. Along the way, they stopped in the community of Kaveri to document the sanitation facilities at the local school.
The past few weeks have been exceptionally busy in Kashitu. After weeks of preparation, fieldwork, and data collection, the first results are beginning to emerge, demonstrating just how much progress has been achieved together. Construction continues to move forward, the beekeeping programme is expanding, the sanitation project has reached several...
Life in Kashitu continues to be filled with hard work, careful planning, and meaningful engagement with the local community. This time, our team focused on several key priorities - from identifying locations for future composting toilets and preparing a large-scale field survey to taking the first steps towards constructing the first classroom on...
The volunteer days in the Kashitu community continue at full speed, and each passing day reminds us why this project carries such deep meaning. After a safe journey from Lusaka, Honza and Klárka, together with Emanuel, arrived right into the heart of the community, where locals welcomed them with incredible openness and joy. From the very first...
We have incredible news that we just have to share with you! After months of preparation and anxious waiting since submitting our application last year, we received official confirmation: our project has once again been selected for support from the prestigious UNDP Challenge Fund.
As part of the Expert Panel series at the Faculty of Science, Palacký University in Olomouc, a specialized lecture focused on the Kashitu Secondary School project in Zambia took place. The event was mainly aimed at students of Development Studies and offered a comprehensive view of the project's implementation within the context of development...
Wednesday evening was one of those moments that reminded us exactly why we do what we do. We would like to send a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us and filled every single seat at the Scout Institute (Skautský institut). The energy in the room, shared over cups of Zambian coffee and tea, was truly incredible.
The implementation of a photovoltaic system is a key part of the supplementary structures and technological measures at the Kashitu Campus. This system significantly strengthens the energy stability of the entire site and supports its long-term self-sufficiency.
The next step in the technical solution for the beekeeping laboratory involves the fillings of window and door openings. This construction detail has a fundamental impact not only on the building's internal microclimate but also on its security, durability, and daily operation.
