The teachers’ housing at Oloipiri Primary School is finished! Happiness Mwamasika, the FoTZC coordinator, traveled to Oloipiri to officially hand the keys to the house over to the community and to the headmaster, with the District Commissioner and Ward Councilor in attendance. While visiting Oloipiri, Happiness reported that the group was surrounded by several villagers who wanted to express their gratitude for FoTZC support. We wanted to be sure to pass that gratitude and message of thanks along to all of you who helped complete this much-needed project!
Construction Updates
The 2-in-1 teachers’ house at Oloipiri is almost finished! The building is done; the only remaining work is to install the gutters and water collection tanks before handing the building over to the community.
The dispensary building is nearly complete, with just some interior painting remaining. The staff housing for the dispensary is also within weeks of completion, with just plastering, window installation, painting, and finishing work left to do!
Dispensary Update
The construction of the dispensary in Sukenya Village is going smoothly. The roof on the dispensary building is already complete, and the external walls are about to be finished. Our contractor is starting the roofing on the staff housing for the dispensary, and he expects the roofing and the window and door frames to be complete within two weeks.
At rural facilities like this dispensary, the toilets are built as a stand-alone structure. The septic tank for the toilets has been started – we are amazed that they can dig this type of hole by hand!

Teachers' House in Progress!
Our contractor is working at top speed to finish the 2-in-1 teachers’ house at Oloipiri Primary School! They are putting the roof on now, and are levelling the area around the housing. In the next two weeks the roof, plastering, and floors should be complete. We hope to hand the housing over to the school in early November. Here are some photos of the progress on the housing.
