Lundzi School 2024/25
This is the school we supported the Swaziland Schools Project charity to renovate by helping fund much-needed modifications. We are indebted to UK District 1070 for a matching grant to further these aims
What's happened?
The SSP team in Eswatini found a primary school in a remote area called Lundzi which was in need of a great deal of renovation. A proposal was put to the Club who, in turn, successfully applied for a matching grant from Rotary District 1070.
The offered £2k which was doubled to £4k went towards the projected total and was added to by Kenilworth Rotary Club and the Graham Bates Trust. The actual total worked out at c. 412,019 Emalengeni (about £17,775).
What exactly was the work?
The 14 classrooms and headteacher's room have tin roofs so were very cold in winter and hot in summer. When it rains it was hard to hear the teacher. False ceilings and lighting have been installed which made a huge difference to the quality of teaching and learning. Repairs were also made to windows, doors and the concrete floors.
The school has been painted inside and out. Solar lighting has been installed including external security lights.
