Kapani School Project
The Kapani Lodge and Norman Carr Safaris in Zambia is proud to support the Kapani School
in the local community.

Yosefe School is the flagship of the project, and currently sponsors 175 children, paying their tuition and giving them uniforms, books, pens and pencils. It has 34 students at various high schools, and 20 students have progressed to higher education, including a student who went to a teachers' training college and returned to Yosefe as a qualified teacher. The Project also teaches the children conservation awareness; and takes groups of kids into the National Park twice a month. The general attitude towards wildlife in the villages is negative, since elephants destroy crops, lions eat people or livestock, and impala antelope are just meat to eat. However due to the park visits and ongoing lectures on conservation, it is very rewarding to see the Project's efforts positively change the attitudes of these young children who may well become our game wardens of the future.

In 2007 Yosefe School reported renovations to teachers housing classroom improvements were completed. During 2007 they built additiona classrooms, most recently completing a 1x3 classroom block, and will continue with the commitment of sponsorship of well over 100 children thanks to the generous donations of our guests.

The Abraham Scholarship fund founded with the incredible generosity of many travelers and continues to flourish with 20 students already sponsored into tertiary college education – teachers, nurses, accountants, mechanics and tourism courses.

They expect to sponsor another 12 whilst, of course still maintaining the commitment to the current students.
