Melton Belvoir Project in Zambia

Melton Belvoir, together with its twinned partner club in Germany, the Rotary Club of Coesfeld, have been working for some time to provide electricity to a community school in central Zambia, called Itala.

We have provided funds for the supply from the main grid, and when completed, this will allow extended use of the school, which is providing education for over 1000 children, who would otherwise not receive any structured teaching at all. about half of the pupils are affected in some way by the Aids epidemic which has ravaged this part of Africa, leaving them desperately short of teachers and resources.
