Tujatane, Tongabezi Trust School

The Tongabezi Trust School - known as Tujatane - was born in 1996 from a desire to provide underprivileged rural Zambian children living within walking distance of the school with a sound and holistic education in a bid to improve the quality of their lives. We started in 1996 with 15 preschool students in a single classroom. Today, we have over 300 students in our primary school, 80 who we sponsor into high school and another 50 we support in university or college. Our school has preschool to grade 9 classrooms, as well as an art room, a music room and amphitheatre, sports grounds, a library, and a canteen.Our alumni include pilots, nurses, lawyers, engineers, and accountants! Our vision is to develop the child as a whole and help them gain a greater knowledge and understanding of educational and social issues so they can make informed choices and have the chance of bright, promising futures
