My name is Grace Masiye Nkhoma. I’m 52 years old, zambian and resident in Lusaka. I run a registered for children offering Pre and Primary Education to the less priviledged in our community since 2005. Despite our challenges, which are numerous, we have managed to produce 100% results at national composite exams. The satisfaction we get from this achievement drives us to keep the school running. We have a Team of Americans who render tuition support to the most vulnerable in our school from Faith Fellowship. Every 3 years they travel to check on how we are doing, and offer on the ground support. Our main challenge at this time is to secure a building for the school. All along we have used rented premises and this has been stiffening. Our efforts to get a lon from finacial institutions has failed as the school cannot meet the collatoral reuirements. The future looks quite threatening without our own infrustracture. We wish to aqcuire a building near us, but are contrained. We would appreciate to receive help even it is a one off support. Our partnets in the States can contacted concerning the support we get, and should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will appreciate to hear from you,
