Ntambo School was started way back in 1929. It is a zonal or "Mother School" taking children from age 5 to 16 years old. It has recently been upgraded to teach children until they complete their education at the end of grade 12. The oldest pupil is 25 years old.

Children attend village community schools like Malimba until they are 11 or 14 years old and are big enough to walk to Ntambo. Children walk for more than one hour each way. 32 children live so far away they have to stay at school during the week. 

There are 923 children at Ntambo school, 170 are single or double orphans.

The first thing we did at Ntambo school was drill a borehole , providing much needed clean water.

In 2020 Friends of Monze was able to step in and complete a two classroom block started by the PTA. To improve education we provided desks, books and bookcases.

 We fenced the school garden and installed a solar powered pump providing  water to grow food for children and to sell to generate income for Ntambo school.

We provided a comprehensive Human Rights training program to traditional leaders, the community and school children. This training taught about rights and to access justice for women and girls. The school has a Human Rights club where pupils continue to learn about their rights and to help their peers access justice.
