Mpunde Mission Centre, Central Province – Project Update

Mpunde Mission operate a school in Mpunde, which is situated in a remote area to the west of Kabwe, and also helps fund local children to attend other schools and colleges in the area.

Tim Legge one of our Trustees visited Mpunde in the Autumn of 2022, not an easy place to reach given its rural location.

The Mission is led by Fr Adam and he writes:

“I would like to thank you most sincerely for your generous donation in the amount of ZMW 71,311.65. I am writing these words of appreciation not only on my behalf but also to express the gratitude of children and their parents supported by The Zambia Society Trust. The entire grant was used to pay the school fees for 23 clever children from poor families.

Five of them study in colleges. The eldest of them by the name of Ephraim Njovu will graduate from teacher college next year. It will give him the right to teach in high schools. The other four (three boys and one girl) are fulfilling their desire to serve sick people as nurses and male nurses. They have come so far in education thanks to your help they have been receiving from primary school.

The rest of the supported children attend secondary school. They are really motivated and inspired by the achievements of their friends who were given the chance to leave our place in order to continue education in colleges. This dream can come true only with your help.

I am very pleased and honoured by your representative’s visit to our place. It was not easy to travel from Lusaka to Mpunde using our public transport. Dear Tim Legge, thank you for your effort and willingness to visit our remote village and learn about our daily joys and concerns. This visit assured me that over the years of cooperation we have become friends who are anxious about the future of the youngest Zambians.

The words will never express our gratitude and gratefulness. You have changed for the better the life of underprivileged children giving them chance for education and successful future. I respectfully request you to continue assisting our students and school children.

May God bless you always. We keep you in our daily prayers.”
