Activity Report Aug 2024 to Aug 2025

Sep 2024

The teaching team of Francis, Farai and Macloud held two 2-day conferences in Choma and Siavonga, ably assisted by Bridget and Ben. Computer Teachers Association of Zambia (COSTAZ) rep was most complimentary about the training sessions

We attended the Hub Cymru Africa summit in Cardiff City Ricoh Arena. It was an opportunity to meet people and advertise ourselves.

Oct 2025

Muhunya engineers travelled to Chizilika to replace, free of charge, an inverter which had failed. Farai travelled to the school to check that everything was in working order now.

Education in Zambia Magazine paid a glowing tribute to Howard who they described as “ a philanthropist who shuttled between the UK and Zambia, a facilitator of sustainable energy solutions, an enabler of access to digital resources and EdTech for rural schools in Zambia”.

Nov 2024

We had a zoom meeting with the new District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) for Siavonga, Mr Moses Mungambata. We discussed the educational issues he faced and the kind of projects we could help him with.

Dec 2024

Farai appeared on National television and Kariba FM, talking about innovations in IT and his win in the JETS Fair Robotics and Artificial Intelligence category.

Feb 2025

COSTAZ approached us with a request that we work together. This letter was followed up by a zoom meeting with them regarding future plans.

May 2025

Thanks to a legacy from Howard’s estate and after discussion with DEBS, we were able to provide solar power to Makkaba Primary School, using the services of Muhunya Solar.

The teaching team held two-day training sessions in Monze and Siavonga. We were pleased to see some of the results achieved by pupils after this.

July 2025

Rusangu Primary School pupils were able for the first time to represent Monze District at the annual JETS Fair (Junior Engineers, Technicians, Scientists). One female pupil went forward to the National JETS Fair with her Mini Weather Station Project. IT teacher Mr Marvin Moono thanked Giakonda Solar Schools for this empowerment.
