I am delighted to announce that The Butterfly Tree\u00a0is now\u00a0an aid agency for Jersey Overseas Aid<\/a>. The Commission funded by the people of Jersey firmly believe that it is<\/em> their moral duty to care about other people and to help them help themselves.<\/em> We are honoured to working with such a wonderful organisation who give substantial funding for aidwork in developing countries and grateful for the\u00a0grant that we have been given to improve the the clinic and school at Katapazi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Katapazi is a remote\u00a0village in the Mukuni Chiefdom<\/a>, over thirty miles from\u00a0Livingstone and some twenty\u00a0miles off the Lusaka Road travelling through bush using dirt tracks. The school and clinic has a catchemnt of 5400 people and has very little help from the outside world. When I first visited Katapazi in February 2008 I discovered that they had no electricity and one bore hole for the community and school to share. Through Just a Drop<\/a> and W Foundation<\/a> we have added a bore hole solely for the school, which gives them an opportunity to grow food for their feeding program.<\/p>\n

Katapazi:<\/strong> Basic School pupils<\/em> Elizabeth, health centre midwife<\/em><\/p>\n

Now with a grant form Jersey Overseas Aid we have commenced building a 1×2 classroom block, enabling the school to upgrade to grades eight and nine as there is a high drop out rate after grade seven. The children have to walk several miles to school most of them\u00a0without shoes. We will also include desks and chairs\u00a0in addition to\u00a0four pit-latrine toilets for the pupils and staff.<\/p>\n

The funding will include and extention and improvements to\u00a0the clinic, run by a midwife and her community-trained helpers. There is no male ward and the nearest hospital\u00a0at Zimba is a thirty mile walk from Katapazi, resulting in unnessary deaths.\u00a0Solar panels, a fridge and equipment will also be provided. The communty’s contribution to the project\u00a0is making bricks, providing building materials and labour and\u00a0The Butterfly Tree will\u00a0train them\u00a0in sustainability, HIVand AIDS\u00a0in Zambia<\/a> awareness, water and community projects.<\/p>\n

Katapazi\u00a0like Mukuni<\/a> is an extremely poor village and has a large number of orphans. If you would like to sponsor an orphan<\/a> it is \u00a395 per annum or \u00a38 per month. Visit Youtube<\/a> and see the Katapazi choir singing and the boys playing football\u00a0with bare feet using a ‘bag and string’ football<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
