Kafue River Educational Centre #1

About the Project: A Better World is excited to start it's first project in Zambia! Riverside School serves students from every province in Zambia. There are currently 360 students, with a plan for 100 more to join in January. Most people in the community are farms well below the poverty level with frequent drought and hunger. These classrooms will provide a place for their students to learn and get the education they need.

About the site: Riverside School is part of the forgotten children of the Kafue River. There are four people groups scattered across the flood plain. There are 30+ sites that are filled with poverty with no schools and no medical supplies. This project is part of the goal to create more clinics and schools in Zambia, hoping to achieve 3,600 children receiving education by 2030
