Friend Of EduSport's Chawama SEE Project

The Zambian government currently spends 136 times more money on every University student than on every Primary School student, making it hard for Primary schools to get anywhere near to the level of education they’d want to be able to offer students.


Chawama SEE (Sport Empowerment and Education) School uses the power of sport to educate, empower and inspire young individuals who attend the school. They are currently renting the land on which they teach at the cost of K1,000,000 per month, which equates to roughly around £150, which value is considerably more in Zambia than it is in Britain.



Should Chawama SEE own their own land, they’d be able to spend that K1,000,000 a month on developing and increasing its reach to young underprivileged children in the area.


Chawama is an area in which Zambian Non-Government Organization EduSport currently deploy peer leaders to utilise sport to tackle problems in society such as drug and alcohol abuse and teach of the dangers of unprotected sex.



The HIV/AIDS virus is something that should Chawama SEE be able to afford, wants to educate its pupils about comprehensively, as only 46% of young people in Zambia have knowledge of. There are currently around 710,000AIDS orphans in Zambia in an overall population of 12,000,000, something which can be prevented.



Purchasing the land would firstly allow a more sustainable future for the school and secondly allow for a more stable education environment for the children of Chawama. Should they be able to do this, they’d be able to promote a quality of education vacant in many Zambian schools. Land would also allow for the development of sport as a priority within the school and the development of CSEE into a peer leader academy of excellence.



Friend of EduSport are trying to help Chawama SEE purchase land so they can help the school educate young people of the dangers ofHIV/AIDS. Operating in a particularly underprivileged area of Lusaka, should Chawama receive the financial backing required to own their required land, they’d reduce entry school fees to encourage family’s to send their children to school when they previously may have not been able to afford education.


The school’s entry fees would then be around 50% less than in the majority of other schools in Lusaka,with that original fee also covering exam fees.
