Nakatindi Village, Zambia
Nakatindi Village is located in the Livingstone area approximately five kilometres from Sanctuary Sussi & Chuma and six kilometres from Livingstone. Divided into three zones, each with its own headmen and elders’ committee, the total population of the village is estimated at 2,700 people living in 1,500 households. The average household earns the equivalent of up to US$80 per month.
Along the northern edge of the village lies Nakatindi Community School where almost two-thirds of the 442 children currently attending are orphaned or considered vulnerable.
SRP began working with the community and school at Nakatindi in July 2010 when we initiated dialogue with the headmaster of the school as well as the community elders in order to identify their immediate needs. Since we started working with the village, a new borehole has been installed, as has a hammer mill for grinding maize. There have also been multiple successes at Nakatindi Community School.
Sanctuary Retreats has also pledged to make a contribution towards the various projects at Nakatindi for every night a guest stays at any one of our properties in Zambia.
