Changes to Sponsorship of Grade 8 & 9 Pupils

All children successfully passing their grade 7 examinations, move onto Chipata Primary School where they study for their grade 9 examinations. The pass rate is 100%.

Thirteen years ago, we agreed to pay for the grade 8-12 school fees, uniform and shoes for all children leaving St Anne’s and St Mark’s Community schools. There were just a handful each year. This cost around £100 per child.

As numbers of children grew in our schools, we were only able to cover the school fees for two years. This year we are supporting 101 grade 8 & 9 pupils.

In 2022, the government cancelled school fees for grade 8 & 9 which was a great help for the families as the cost of living, over the Covid years, had risen in a similar way as it has done here.

We send around £1,500 each January to enable these children to attend school for a further two years. The money is now spent on providing uniform, shoes and other required items.

Thank you to those long-term supporters who still give the annual £100. Your donations now help several children each year.

CLinC

This is where the money went this year - on uniforms for 34 pupils. The uniforms are made by local businesses, supporting the local economy.

These are the leavers from St Mark’s School, proudly wearing the new outfits.

The other 67 pupils received sponsorship from Zebra Trust and this money was also spent on essential school requirements by Chipata Primary.

Projects we support

Roy's Classroom Block

Roy Greenhalgh died in March 2015 after living with cancer for 15 years. Roy was one of the founders of CLinC in 2004 and his enthusiasm and support will be greatly missed.

Roy made it very clear that he wanted the work of CLinC to continue.

CLinC

The two classroom block built in Roy's memory at St Mark's Community School in Zambia is now completed and awaiting official opening by the Bishop.

In true Zambian style, there will be celebration party for all those who have worked on the project, along with the staff and students at the school.

Plans are now being drawn up for a toilet block to be added to the school.
