Makululu proudly presents …
The 2022 Africa Runners’ project has gone from a dream to a reality! With the help of the 2022 Africa Runners among others, Makululu Combined Secondary School was able to build new classrooms, a home-economics facility, a library with a reading room, and an administrative area. The school can now take in more students: soon enrolment will increase from 850 to 1,200.
A future for young people and the region
The special focus of this school has made it possible for its graduates to complete secondary school with a technical degree, and that greatly improves their prospects on the labor market. The new facilities will allow them the option of attaining a degree which will qualify them for university studies. This is an outstanding opportunity for young people to take their future into their own hands.
The city of Kabwe and its inhabitants will benefit as well, because young people with professional qualifications mean good future perspectives for their families and the region.
