Lumwana Community Trust hands over education infrastructure

Lumwana Community Trust (LCT) of Kalumbila District in North –western Province has handed over infrastructure at three schools to government constructed at a cost of about K2 million.

The Trust handed over three staff houses at Lumwana east community school, a one by three class room block at Mukonzhi primary school and a wall fence erected around a Catholic convent.

Kalumbila District Commissioner, Robinson Kalota who received the structures said government is committed to providing quality education and good health to the people of Kalumbila district.

Mr. Kalota said government wants everyone to have access to proper health and education facilities.

He said the investment by LCT is meaningful as it will help in meeting the accommodation needs of teachers at Lumwana east primary school and increase learning space at Mukonzhi primary School.

The District Commissioner commended LCT and the contractor for the quality works done at the two schools and the convent.

“The structures are of good quality and we commend LCT and the contractor for doing a good job,” he said.

The District Commissioner warned the people of Chief Mukumbi’s area against vandalizing the property and that anyone who will be caught will be prosecuted.

Meanwhile, Lumwana Mine Executive Director Nathan Chishimba said the construction of the structures is in line with the company’s aspiration to bring about social economic development in the area.

Mr. Chishimba said the Mining firm will continue with its model of involving communities in determining their development needs and empowering them to take an active role in bringing development to the area.

And Chief Mukumbi thanked Lumwana Mine for constructing the structures as they will help improve the performance of pupils at the two schools.

The traditional leader urged his subjects to look after the infrastructure so that the children from the community can benefit from it.
