about

The Baraka Learning Centre is based in a rural setting in the Central Provence of Zambia near the town of Kapiri-Mposhi. The Learning Centre has been a long held dream of our team and officially opened in 2019 with the aim of significantly raising the standard of education in the area and supporting the wider community.

The schools in the vicinity are poorly funded and horribly under-resourced. The Learning Centre provides the support and educational resources to help the schools, teachers and pupils achieve a higher level of academic success. All lessons and sessions are free of charge and for those schools that can't access the Learning Centre, we provide an outreach programme that takes the Learning Centre to the schools.

The Learning Centre is equipped with an IT suite with 30 laptops, and outdoor classroom and a store room full of books and teaching resources. The educational programme is planned, delivered and evaluated by young Zambian teachers with the support and advice of British educationalists. 

​We are in the process of building a new office for the Baraka Zambia team and a dormitory for children and teachers who live further afield has just been completed.

Later in 2020 we aim to commence building a classroom and library block and a second dormitory to complete our infrastructure.
