Return to Zambia

Lights For Learning are going back to Zambia later this month for two and a half weeks when we will be teaching the trainers how to install the lights in 3 schools.  We shall then return to the workshop and teach them how to make portable phone chargers and portable lighting systems - these will then be sold to raise funds to keep the workshop going.

Zambia: Kingsley Mwenda Centre Workshop

The re-wiring and painting is complete and we are now about to collect the kit that was left here after a previous trip.

We already have 2 people asking to be trainers and overseers when we are not here.

Now that all of this work has been completed we are heading off to the Choma area to inspect 3 or 4 schools that have been put forward to have our lighting systems fitted. We need to check they meet Lights For Learning criteria.
