Name:
Mwangaza Education Centers
Location:
Meheba Refugee Settlement, Zambia
Category:
Education
Budget:
$4140 (see details)
Goal:
To provide early childhood and adult literacy education in a community with a high percentage of young children and low literacy rates.

Early childhood education in Block F of Meheba Refugee Settlement is practically nonexistent. With the nearest school over a two hour walk from this community, few of its children have had the opportunity to attend preschool, starting them off at an educational disadvantage very early in their lives. Because of these restrictions, the leaders of Block F have planned and are now proudly establishing the Mwangaza Education Centers, a network of services in the camp that will promote early learning through preschools and continued learning through adult education classes. As the name of the center, “Mwangaza” (“light”), suggests, this project represents hope and possibilities for a brighter future for these refugees.
