Empowering Futures in Lumwana West
EBZEF continues to see inspiring progress in Lumwana West as projects thrive and “Beth’s Girls” carry forward Elizabeth’s legacy of education and empowerment.
EBZEF Representative Sandra Kamulosu reports, “The Secondary School is operating well. We have a new head teacher who just reported in the last week of July. Our learners are working so hard. They are utilizing the electricity; it's really helping them to study more especially at night. It's equally helping the teachers to prepare in advance for the next day. Electricity has really contributed to the good performance of school.”
She adds, “The Science Laboratory is equally operating so well. Learners have access to the equipment and chemicals in the lab. They are able to do their practical at any time they have a practical lesson. They are able to see the procedures physically since they have all the necessary equipment, materials, and chemicals they require.”
The Pre-School lavatory is nearing completion, marking another milestone in community infrastructure. Sandra notes that “the teacher Belindah Kalumba was redirected to Lumwana. Therefore, she is currently teaching at our kindergarten.” Belindah, a Beth’s Girl who trained in Early Childhood Development Studies with EBZEF’s support, is now “giving back” to her community by educating Lumwana’s youngest learners.
Another Beth’s Girl, Karen Kamulosu, is pursuing a groundbreaking career path. She says, “I will graduate with a degree in Computer Science with a major in Networking and Information Security (Cybersecurity). What I like most about my studies is knowing that everything now and in the future is basically about technology. Being in this field is really interesting to protect people's information (as an ethical hacker) as well as configuring networks and creating clusters. Thank you for believing in my future.”
Karen is yet another excellent role model for the girls and women from her family, her community, and her country. Her accomplishments reflect the power of education to transform not just one life, but entire generations.
GlobalGiving donors make these achievements possible. Your continuing support allows EBZEF to educate the Whole Girl—empowering young women to become professionals, teachers, and leaders shaping the future of Zambia.
Thank you for being part of this ongoing story of hope and transformation.
