TTCSZ (Teacher Training for Community Schools in Zambia) and T4Z (Teachers for Zambia) rely heavily on the generosity of donors, both locally and internationally, to make a lasting impact on education in Zambia.
Your donation, regardless of its size, will be utilized responsibly and effectively toward our teacher training initiatives. We believe in transparency and accountability, and if you provide us with your personal details, we will keep you informed and engaged throughout the process. You will receive regular updates on how your contribution is being utilized to empower teachers through training programs.
We welcome donations from individuals and organizations, both from within the UK, Zambia, and beyond. Your support plays a crucial role in improving the quality of education in community schools, and together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of Zambian students.
Please consider donating and joining us in our mission to provide better educational opportunities for teachers and students in Zambia. Your support will help us create a brighter future for the next generation.
General donations are spent delivering 2 by 2-week training programmes to 25 community school teachers.
e.g. A donation of:
£5 buys a hot meal at lunchtime for 2 teachers
£10 buys basic training stationery for 5 teachers (writing pad, pen, pencil, eraser, folder, name tag)
£15 buys internet time for training 25 teachers to use the world wide web
£20 pays for photocopying training handouts for 25 teachers for 1 day
In February 2024, Zambia’s president declared a drought. With no relief yet in sight, it has already created a food crisis and had a devastating impact on the country’s supply of power as it relies on hydroelectric generation. At a local level the unpredictable electricity supply makes it very difficult for computer-based training in TTCSZ’s Resource Centre.
To resolve this problem, we are now fundraising to purchase solar panels, an inverter and a battery for the Library/Resource Centre. An independent source of electricity will mean we can operate and plan with certainty. It will also greatly enhance the services we can offer to community schools and their teachers.
The cost will be approximately £1,750.
We fund bursaries for some community school teachers to attend a University in Zambia and gain a degree in Primary Education. Bursaries cover all university fees, books, internet and other study expenses. We are currently supporting 4 teachers to study Primary Education degrees. If you are interested in receiving further information please contact info@teachers4zambia.com.
T4Z is registered for Gift Aid with HMRC (HM Revenue and Customs). Gift Aid is a tax relief allowing T4Z to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer.
We greatly appreciate all donations and spend money responsibly.
The Teaching Council of Zambia requires all teachers to have a Practising Certificate (Licence). This also applies to unpaid volunteer teachers in community schools. To get a certificate teachers need to have passed five O levels (exams completed at the end of secondary school).
To find out how TTCSZ could assist community school teachers to gain the 5 essential O levels we did a survey of school teachers attending our 2024 training programme.
Our research found that –
The cost providing study workshops and other re-sit expenses would be approximately £45 per teacher.
100% of any donations for either of the above will only be spent on the specific project you choose.
