About T4Z
Approximately 30% of primary schools in Zambia are under-resourced community schools. They normally cater for the most vulnerable - orphans and poor children. Teachers in these schools are untrained volunteers who live in the local community. Training these teachers is important because ‘education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world’ (Nelson Mandela).
After 5 years of delivering basic training programmes to over 120 community school teachers in Lusaka, we are now fundraising to establish a multi-purpose Library/Resource Centre.
It will be a teacher training venue that gives community school teachers access to a wide range of resources such as computers, textbooks, teaching materials and story books to use in their primary schools. It will also be a library for local children to experience the joy of reading stories and having fun with toys, so they learn through play.
Our Library/Resource Centre will allow us to expand our support for dedicated untrained volunteer teachers in community schools in Zambia.
