We’ve completed the groundworks on ‘Stage Two’ – two three-bedroomed family homes to house the Mukwashi headteachers and deputy heads for the next fifty years…

Our team dug and levelled the footings, filled them with concrete, laid the base-frame, compressed the base, laid the damp-proof membrane, positioned the steel strengthening, assembled a temporary wooden frame, and then poured the concrete. The foundations are done.

Meanwhile…

We are into the final three weeks of ‘Stage One’ – two good homes where up to nine of Mukwashi’s teachers can live comfortably for the next 50… One contains 5 studios for single teachers; the other provides flexible homes for either four single teachers or two married teachers.

During the week, we completed the ceilings and tiled floors in one house and started painting the outside. We’re painting the outside walls bright white to help cool the rooms.
