Meet Our Holmies, Sangwani Community School!

Sangwani is an inclusive primary school located in the central province of Zambia, 9 Kilometers off Great North Road, 22 Miles away from Lusaka the capital city.

The School is located in a small community called Kamaila has been running for 17 years, and currently has 150 students ranging from Nursery to Grade 4.

Sangwani has separated its students in 2 groups, group 1 being called the “typical students” this refers to children without disabilities and group 2, the Special Needs Group. Out of the 150 students, 35 of them belong to the second group. This group consists of Neurodivergent Students, Differently abled students, Intersex Students and Visual and Audio impaired students.

Mothers from the community spend the day at school with their children that have special needs so they are able to take care of their children as well as ensure they are safe as they walk back from school.

The School also runs a feeding program for its students through a garden run by the community and the mothers that accompany their children to school.

The beautiful school and holmies need our support in sustaining it and helping it grow.

Want to be a part of the movement and help Sangwani grow?
