Primary School at Faith Children's Village
FCV Multi-Purpose Education Building
Prepared by: Philip Hunt, Director
April 22, 2011
Project Summary
Objective
Construct of a Multi-Purpose Hall & Education Building at Faith Children’s Village Orphanage. This building will meet the urgent need for a school building that will facilitate the education of orphaned children in Zambia.
Goals
Begin construction May 2012 and complete by November of 2012. Open for the next Zambian academic year beginning January 2013
Reason For the Project
The need to provide a suitable environment for the education of the children at Faith Children’s Village. The children leave the Village before 6am for the 1.5 hour trip into the city of Kitwe. The children do not return until 4:30 in the afternoon. The travel is tedious and extremely costly due to poor road conditions. In addition to transportation costs, the trip involves risk as they must cross the Kafue River by boat. This together with the increased cost of school fees created an unsustainable financial pressure on the orphanage. The FCV Board therefore approved the opening of a primary school at FCV.
Specifications
The building consists of:
- A large multi-purpose hall that can be used for general meetings at the orphanage, indoor play area for the children, and will be adequate to use for youth camps during school breaks.
- Eight individual classrooms, with the option of constructing eight additional classrooms in the future.
- Size: 53.5 meters by 25.8 meters (171 feet x 82.56 feet).
Project Budget
Faith Children’s Village: Multi-Purpose Education Building
There is $32,000 in hand toward this project. The balance needed is $101,826.00. Cost estimate was completed in April 2011. Architectural drawings are complete. All blocks are manufactured on site using HydraForm technology. (www.hydraform.com).
This project is contracted and constructed by Faith Children’s Village thus providing jobs and practical construction training for staff and older boys at the Village.

Building a School
The men are mining soil which will be used to manufacture 20,000 bricks. We are beginning construction on the school building at Faith Children's Village. When complete this building will provide 10 classrooms, 2 offices and a large multi-purpose hall.
Our goal is to open classes next year for the younger children,and we will need qualified teachers with a passion to make disciples. If you would like to participate in this project or have a heart to teach in the school, please get in touch with the director. Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for praying.
How Can You Help?
Our goals are to lead our children into a relationship with Jesus Christ, disciple them to be like Christ in their actions and attitudes. At the same time we desire to equip each child at Faith Children's Village with life skills that will enable him or her to become productive Christians in today's world.
You can help us achieve these goals by:
- praying specifically for a staff member or an orphaned child.
- partner with us by sponsoring a child.
- providing technical help and training in skill training and fund-gererating projects.
