The design of the house is created by volunteers, builders from the implementation team consisting of students and workers, mostly graduates of CTU and BUT, but also from other universities. The plan reflects the way of life in Zambia, which is why individual parts of the construction are carefully discussed with the local community. In the picture you can see the plan of this year's construction.

You can't teach in the dark! We need to install electrical wiring, lights and sockets in the classroom. The electrical installation costs us 65,000 Czech crowns (converted to Zambian kwacha: 77,030 Kwacha).

In 2023, we built a workshop building, which now serves local carpenters, but also as a base and storage for tools and materials during the construction of other buildings in the complex. We also used it in 2024, when we again built a multifunctional house together with the local community, now serving as accommodation for workers, but also as a model house, which will later be used by the teacher for family living. 

From the beginning, we have been working with the local community, which asked us to help with the construction of a school complex. During the construction of the buildings, we transfer know-how and train carpenters, bricklayers, or welders. We use local methods, which we combine with technical knowledge, so as not to disrupt local traditions, but at the same time ensure the quality of the buildings and spread knowledge that allows local residents to better apply themselves in the labor market.

The entire project is created together with the Zambians, we share our experiences, learn about traditions and enrich each other. We mostly broaden our horizons and open up possibilities to which the locals have limited access due to the geopolitical situation. On the contrary, the life of the Zambians reminds us which values ​​are really important among people. The strong friendly ties between the individual inhabitants of the village are an endless inspiration for us to return to the values ​​that we often overlook in Europe during the endless hustle and bustle. From the summer of 2024, in addition to the construction itself, we are also developing a sewing and carpentry workshop in the local community, and in the summer of 2025 a beekeeping workshop will be added.

The 14-hectare Kashit Secondary School campus will gradually be built for 250 students. The school is designed as a boarding school, which solves the problem of long distances between homes and schools. Transport is quite inaccessible in rural areas of Zambia, public transport usually does not work there, or is too expensive, and walking from more remote locations is simply unrealistic.

You can also support the Kashit Secondary School project by purchasing items from our e-shop or at events published on Facebook, Instagram or the project website.

More information about the entire project can be found on our project website and on the website of our non-profit organization.
