Zambia: Member of Parliament for the Chieng Constituency has extended a donation to the secondary school in her constituency. Given Katuta has donated 60 pockets of cement to Pondwa Secondary School.
The donation made by the politician will help in making sure that the school authorities are able to complete the construction of a 3 classroom block in the school. With this new construction, the students of the school will be able to access better facilities.
More students will also be able to get education at the Pondwa Secondary School. The education facilities of the district will also improve significantly with the improvement of the district’s infrastructure.
The member of the parliament is looking forward to all the infrastructure developments which are taking place. The Member of the Parliament has shared the details of her donation with the members of the media.
The leadership of the school have also extended their gratitude to the politician for the meeting. It is important for the schools across Zambia to have access to modern infrastructure that can meet the educational needs of the students.
The construction of the school classroom block will also begin shortly. Katuta has also donated K27, 200 for the procurement of bricks and planks.
Pondwa Secondary School Headteacher, Elias Chishinge thanked the Member of Parliament Given Katuta for her support. He  revealed that the area MP has since pledged to procure all the needed building materials to ensure the completion of the structure.
“Right now the school is waiting for the delivery of 100 iron sheets that have been donated by the MP,” he said.
Mr Chishinge has thanked the area MP for initiating the project adding that the school is currently experiencing challenges of insufficient learning space because of its big catchment area.
“Once completed, the one by three classroom block will come as a sigh of relief because it will provide the much needed additional space,” he said.
More students will be able to attend school and classrooms will not be as crammed for existing students with the addition of these classroom blocks.
