Review of iChange's Activities in 2024 and Outlook for 2025
December 2024
In 2024, iChange was once again actively involved at the Mackenzie Community School. Initially, the construction of new toilets was planned, as the existing infrastructure was no longer sufficient for over 460 students and school staff. Thanks to a new water supply system, which we implemented in 2023 with a borehole, pump, and water tank, we had the perfect foundation for this project.

Independent and reliable water supply for the Mackenzie community school
October 2023
During the last few months, we worked together with the school administration of the Mackenzie Community School to improve the hygienic situation by ensuring a more reliable water supply. This is a first important step in addressing the urgent need for additional sanitary infrastructure to meet the needs of the growing school in terms of classrooms as well as number of students.
Working full-time in the past years had often prevented me from visiting Zambia for more than a couple of days. At the same time, the work iChange does had inspired me in 2018 to begin a Masters study course at the University of Edinburgh in International Development. I had done so not necessarily with the intention of a career change, but with the desire for increased learning and understanding of issues of local development in education, especially the community school sector.
