NAKATINDI SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION AND DEVELOPMENT

TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH EDUCATION IN ZAMBIA

Developing Nakatindi school is part of the community-wide program in a village beside the Zambezi, supported by Abercrombie & Kent.

EDUCATION

The ongoing partnership between AKP and the Nakatindi community has many parts, at the heart of which is the Nakatindi school. Previously, the school was dilapidated and hard to use. The addition of four new classrooms, funded by AKP in 2017 as part of our wider collaborative program in this area, has transformed the school and the education it provides.

With the ability to employ more staff, there is now sufficient space and resources to educate more than 1,200 pupils and to offer additional learning opportunities in topics such as vegetable growing and conservation alongside the academic curriculum. In early 2025, AKP celebrated the completion of a new 2-story classroom block, which enabled the school to serve up to 200 students.

GET INVOLVED
You can visit Nakatandi School, and meet students and teachers or eat a meal with them, while staying at Sussi & Chuma Lodge, An A&K Sanctuary, on the banks of the Zambezi. A&K can offer this on the Botswana Safari in Style Small Group Journey and any Tailormade Journey to Zambia.
