Ongoing Project.
The club has so far worked on: plumbing repairs on the male and female ward ablutions with a few new replacements, various doors and locks, ceiling boards, lights (inside and outside), electrical switches and sockets, a new distribution box for outside lighting, repaired the holding cell and painting of the entire male ward as well as female ward from ceiling to doors to walls, window frames and outside walls.
The club intends to secure the premises with fence wire, painting of the passageway between the male and female ward, as well as replacing old, damaged iron sheets along the passage. To prevent illnesses like malaria among others, the club will replace a few glasses and repair the damaged glasses by using Georgian wire glass which is stronger and safer for the mentally challenged patients.

Sustainability: How sustainable is the project and what have you done to ensure sustainability?

The project has prioritised installing the Georgian wire glass that would help lessen the accidents incurred by the patients with the ordinary glass and it lasts longer. In the long term, this wire glass will lessen malaria infections given that it reduces mosquitos access to the ward through the windows thus reducing the disease burden in Kabwe.
