N’gandu School, built in the 1940’s, was the second school to be supported by The Butterfly Tree back in 2007. There are over 500 pupils from grades one to nine. We have fully restored two classrooms, added\u00a0two higher grades\u00a0and put in a bore hole. An extra teacher’s house was added in 2012.\u00a0Many pupils from the school are included in our orphan sponsorship<\/a> program. In 2012 the school was upgraded and can take pupils up to grade nine. They then sit examinations\u00a0to qualify for grade ten\u00a0at Mukuni\u00a0High School, a distance of nine kilometres. We provide stationery and equipment for the pupils and seeds to assist with a feeding program.<\/p>\n

2015 saw\u00a0further development at N’gandu with the completion of 1×3 classroom block, two teacher’s houses and latrines will added by The Butterfly Tree after receiving\u00a0grant aid from JOAC. The Commission sent 11 volunteers in August to assist with this Community Works Project.<\/p>\n

The Butterfly Tree supplies seeds so that the school can grow maize and vegetables to provide a sustainable feeding program, which is essential for children having to walk long distances to get to school. 2013 proved to yield good crops.<\/p>\n
