At this year's Maker Faire Brno 2026, we presented the Kashitu School project, giving visitors a closer look at how we connect education, local craftsmanship, and sustainable solutions in Zambia. Our booth offered not only stories about the project but also the chance to try out some of the methods firsthand. And there were truly plenty of...
In recent days, work in Kashitu has once again moved forward significantly on several important parts of the project. Construction of the new classroom is reaching a key stage, with crucial elements being completed, while work on the toilets and composting facilities continues. Each individual step is gradually bringing the entire campus closer to...
The construction site in Kashitu has seen significant progress over the past few days. Electricity has officially been brought to the new classroom, and the lights inside can now be turned on. At the same time, the trenches for the water and power lines leading to both the classroom and the field have been backfilled. At the compost plant...
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...
