Increasing Access to Education: Combating Child Labour and HIV/AIDS Project

The official opening of Matilyo Community School to support children withdrawn from child labour in Kapiri Mposhi District: In order for JCM to continue withdrawing children from  child labour and other forms of child abuse, a community school in Matilyo in Kapiri Mposhi was built with the support from KNH and the community committee. The official opening of the Matilyo Community School in Kapiri took place on the 12th of April 2011. Over 500 people were in attendance to witness this important day in Kapiri Mposhi District.  These included 100 women from the SHGs, 100 parents with children at the Matilyo JCM centre at that time, 100 youth in the JCM program, and 20 members from the CCLC and JCM staff. To this date, this community is still running and supported by government.
