Working closely with seven committees, the district health officer and the District Administrator, 16,000 bricks were made by seven different villages, around six tonnes of sand and a similar amount of stone was transported by the local church and women’s groups while the school children helped to carry the bricks to the building site. The US Embassy in Maputo paid for 100 bags of cement, roofing irons, door hinges, paint, nails and screws.
Nkwichi Lodge, with private donations, funds raised in English Churches, finance the transport of building materials, purchased local building materials such as wood and have covered all the skilled labour costs. Nkwichi Lodge also supports Dr. Peg Cumberland, who is doing an excellent job in training people in each village on basic health care, midwifery and HIV/AIDS.
