Tukongote Community Projects

In 2009 Waterberry founded Tukongote Community Projects to improve educational opportunities in the nearby villages. From humble, single-classroom beginnings, the project has developed into a first world standard community school, with three preschools, a primary school, an adult teaching centre, a library, and burgeoning skills centre. The community project supports the nearby secondary school and, with the help of sponsors, send the best and brightest children to Kazungula High School to pursue their dreams of higher education and an uplifting future. Guests can experience everyday rural Zambian life and see Tukongote projects in action if they join the village walk. The community shop at the lodge stocks items made locally and by supporter volunteers.
