Mpelembe School to Open Knowledge Sharing Centre

Mpelembe school in Kitwe in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia has completed  building a multi-facility centre, with one of the four rooms in the building to be used as a Knowledge Sharing and Training Centre to serve the Mpelembe Basic Schools Partnership that the school manages with support from IICD and Edukans from the C4C consortium. The room will house 30 computer sets. The centre is set to be opened in January 2012.  It was set up as part of the school’s five-year strategic plan which it started implementing towards the end of 2010. Mpelembe has since gone into a partnership with River Rain, Matete, Rokana, Kamfinsa, and Kitwe Basic schools in a partnership that will enable the pupils from the basic schools to benefit.  In addition,  IT courses will be given at the centre for interested members of the community at affordable prices.
