Singonya School built 2024
Singonya School is in a rural area of Monze District. The school was started in 1956 by Catholic Priests.
Friends of Monze first helped Singonya School with water. Since 1965, 3 wells had been dug, but the water was not fit to drink, 10 bore holes had been drilled without finding water. but no water had been found. On 22.9.2021 Friends fo Monze found water.
In June 2022 Friends of Monze trustees visited Singonya with our partners Zambia Wonmen and Girls Foundation. The classrooms were old, windows partly bricked up and the roof had been replaces and repaired. The community were keen to have new classrooms and prepared sand and bricks. We are training 8 men and 1 woman to be builders, they completed 2 weeks theory training and learned practical skills working on building 3 new classrooms.
In June 2024 there was a grand Handover Ceremony attended by the Department of Education, Chief Ufanuka, the District Commissioner's representative and other dignatories. Children sang and danced.
