Kansanshi Mining Plc and China Geo-Engineering Corporation Company (CGCC) have jointly donated K110 million to the Ministry of Education in Solwezi towards infrastructure development in the District.
Making the donation to the Provincial Education officer (PEO) in Solwezi today, Kansashi mine Public Relations Manager Godffrey Msiska said the donation was meant to meet the cost of school infrastructure development in the District.
He noted that the present number of schools in the District was insufficient in relation to the ever increasing population hence the need for more schools to absorb many children who needed education.
Mr. Msiska reiterated his company’s commitment of supplementing Governments effort in improving schools infrastructure there by facilitating a conducive learning environment for the children.
Receiving the donation Northwestern Province Education Officer Jennifer Malama thanked Kansanshi and CGCC for the gesture saying it has come at a right time when there are a lot of infrastructure in the District that need rehabilitation and construction.
Mrs Malama said the District was facing challenges in the educational sectors such as shortage of books, desks, and classroom blocks .
She called for concerted efforts from co-operating partners and other stakeholders in uplifting the education standards in the province .
