For years, Mphande Primary School in Chipapa Community stood as a symbol of the challenges facing rural schools across Zambia. Overcrowded classrooms forced learners outdoors under trees, teachers worked under difficult conditions, and limited access to technology left pupils to wonder what digital learning looked like.

Deborah deserves a safe, dry space where she sits, focuses and grows, because every learner in Situnga carries the promise of a brighter future.
