Two months ago DISA Zambia sponsored additional computer using the combined funds (DISA's funds and the funds from the Penrith Quaker Meeting, UK). In June 2020 DISA Zambia financed the first computer for the school. Using these computers to enhance classroom learning is beneficial.

Unfortunately, several pupils do not have stationery. Due to the rain, some school items were hung outside to dry on the washing line. In general, the school is clean and efficient.
