The Children’s Empowerment program aims to empower orphans and disadvantaged children by providing a conducive and enabling holistic environment in which they can have balanced growth and experience healthful lifestyles. The Mukulaikwa School, supporting 1000 children, is now one of the best regional schools. Young girls travel from distant locations to receive free education as a means out of poverty. Due to distance, families rent small huts for the girls close to the school.
The Girls Dorm Project is a project of the Empowerment Ministries International(EMI), an organization committed and dedicated to empowering lives and transforming communities through community-based projects and initiatives.
The GIRLS DORMS PROJECT, at Mukulaikwa School in a rural area of Zambia, is part of the EMI Children’s Empowerment program aiming to empower orphans and disadvantaged children by providing a conducive and enabling holistic environment in which they can have balanced growth and experience healthful lifestyles.
For over ten years, EMI has been working in the area of improving people’s standards of living.
The School, supporting 1000 children, is now one of the best regional schools and has been upgraded to Secondary school. Young girls travel from distant locations to receive a good education as a means out of poverty.
Due to distance, families rent small huts for the girls close to the school. Still, these places are unhygienic, and girls are being abused physically and sexually, resulting in an increased number of girls getting pregnant; this is of great concern to EMI, the School, and the Communities in the area.
EMI has secured a plot of 50 acres adjacent to the school to place two structured dormitories. The facilities will provide the girls with shelter, security, water, sanitary access, showers, and sleeping quarters.
We have secured the goodwill of the tribal leaders, and received approval from the district officials to construct the dorms.
By December 2022, we plan on completing two dormitories to provide safe shelter for the girls. Providing safe shelter for the girls is an incredibly urgent project. The girls require immediate safe housing before the next school year in January 2023.
Initial estimates to construct the dorms equipped with solar power, water, sanitation access, showers, dining hall, storage and kitchen, beds for up to 50 girls, matrons quarters, and a security fence and gate to restrict and protect the property will cost $110,000 ($55,000/dorm).
