Invitation to DISA General Meeting August 27th, 2019

Dear members,
After two months with no general meetings, it is high time to catch up with friends and to hear what the committee is coming up with for the rest of the year!

You are warmly welcome to the next General Meeting, Tuesday 27th August at the Southern Sun Ridgeway Hotel. Refreshments will be available from 9:00 onward, and the meeting will start at 9:30.

Project speaker
Our speaker this month is Mr. Kenneth Habaalu from Apters (Appropriate Paper Technology). Apters is using paper to make assistive devises for disabled children, and it is one of the projects supported by DISA.

They make other products as well (eg. stools, magazine and book stands, etc.) which will be on display and which you can buy after the meeting.

Please bring any magazines you don't need any more, Apters can use them to make new products.

Looking forward to seeing you all again!

Kafwa Drop-in Center Roofing Project

Our ladies from Projects Committie are taking the lead in helping Kafwa Drop-in Centre to have the roofing project rolling.

Projects Committee member Busi during the meeting with LICHIFI team

Kafwa is a non-profit school set up by Rosemary Mumba. The school construction began in 2016. Kafwa managed to build the library, the dining room, the kitchen, the storeroom and the sick bay for their students. Unfortunately, due to financial challenges the roofing has not been done.

Kafwa Drop-in Center

DISA Projects Committee engaged with the experts from LICHIFI Construction. A series of meetings have been held with LICHIFI team to have the plan approved by the city council and obtain the quotations for the roofing project. It is our hope that well wishers will join us in this venture, so that by the end of August the students can utilize the facilities.
We are grateful to LICHIFI team for their contribution to this project. If you are willing to engage with us and assist Kafwa with this important mission by sponsoring the materials, kindly contact DISA Zambia by sending an email to: disazambia1@gmail.com
