Community Involvement

We passionately believe that for the long term sustainability of the King’s Village project, it’s vital to engage and involve the local community.

At the school, parents are charged a small fee each term – ensuring they feel they are part of their child’s education. Many serve on our PTA.

The Medical Centre was developed after 58i completed a large-scale needs assessment and community consultation exercise. This meant that we know exactly what facilities are needed and wanted by the local community. Hundreds of local volunteers were involved in helping to build the medical centre, taking ownership of the project.

The water and sanitation programme is delivered in partnership with committees from each community. These WATSAN committees help to build latrines, maintain the facilities installed and ensure the hygiene practices taught during the project are adopted in the community.
