Am an advocate for the empowerment of vulnerable groups in society, a child activist and communist. Became an orphan at a tender age of 8 when my surviving parent at that time (mother) died.Was helped with primary and secondary education by well wishers after being picked on the streets.
I believe I owe the vulnerable people a service to better their lives,hence I have opened an orphans school called Lukkomano Charity School after identifying the vulnerable children whose guardians are not able to meet educational support for them.
The Charity school has 236 pupils in Reception, grade 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4 and grade 5. The school offers free education to all its learners who are drwan from the poor families.
The school challenges are that;
1.There are no desks, 2.No uniforms, 3. No funds for school feeding programs.
Because of the above challenges,pupils sit on floor in class,wear casual clothes at school and have less concentration in class as they come on empty stomach from their homes.
I'm in food supplying business, I supply tomatoes and fresh vegetables to supermarket. This business is a profit making and is manageable.
From the profit I make am able to pay my workers and meet the minimum costs for my Orphans Charity School.
I have also managed to buy land that is intended to be a garden for the Charity School income generating project.
I want to use loan money to buy school uniforms and desks for all children at Lukkomano Orphans Charity School.
I want to buy 40 desks and 120 uniforms for 120 pupils at an orphans community school.
1. $95 x 40 =$3,800 (desks total cost)
2. $6 x 120 =$720 (uniforms total cost)
Once these items are bought for the vulnerable kids at Lukkomano Community School in Mazabuka, Zambia, pupils who are orphans will no longer be stigmatized but will feel to be equal with those other children from the well to do families.
