Project Description
Nakawa Community Academy is located approximately 70kms from Livingstone, set up by a couple from the same village. Nakawa provides meals and education for 110 children – and growing! The Academy also provides mentorship to children for further education, scholarship opportunities for volunteer teachers and vocational training to adults within the community. As a sustainable food initiative, the couple have created a large vegetable garden, a tree nursery, a fruit orchard to feed the schoolchildren. The Arts & Crafts Centre and a small shop help finance the various initiatives. Visitors may opt to visit Nakawa Community Academy as a guest of Chundukwa River Lodge and donate directly to the school.
