Zambia Bike Ride Funds 5 New Classrooms at Kasizi Basic School

 

African Revival is no stranger to Kasizi Basic School. Back in 2010, we built 2 staff houses in the school grounds and these have since helped to attract new and better teachers to the school as well as increasing the retention of existing staff who now have adequate and comfortable on-site accommodation.

The new Block

 

Following the enormous success of the 2011 Zambia Bike Ride Challenge, African Revival has been able to fund more work at Kasizi – namely the completion of a triple classroom block and the renovation of another double block. The double block in particular was in a shocking state of disrepair and had to be almost completely demolished and rebuilt. The completion of these 5 classrooms and 2 offices means that there are now 8 classrooms at the school, which is almost enough for the schools 9 year groups.
