Sponsor an adult in vocational skills

We recognised that Duncan Phiri, a young man from one of the communites that we work with had incredible talent, but unfortunately no means to further his education. He had impressed us with his building skills when he helped us with our building project at Malota School. He has also proved his talents when it comes to wood work, constructing many pieces of furniture for our projects and staff!

Now thanks to sponsorship Duncan has enrolled at the Institute of Business and Engineering in Livingstone to start his Building Construction course. The course is 18 months, during which he will study carpentry and joinery, bricklaying and plastering and power electrical. Once he has completed the course, Duncan plans to focus on his small carpentry business that he has already started, utilising all of the new skills he has learned. After starting the course in May, Duncan is already proving to be a star student, his last results from his carpentry module were 98%! Well done Duncan!
