GUARDIAN ANGELS COMMUNITY SCHOOL

The Guardian Angels Community School is managed by the Sisters of Mercy of St Charles of Borromeo in Chilanga, Zambia. Guardian Angels has classes for children from Pre-school to Grade 7.

The school opened in January 2002 as a day-care center. It was established to provide education for children whose parents were receiving palliative treatment or had died of HIV/AIDS in the Mother of Mercy Hospice. In 2002 the school had two teachers and 72 pupils. In September of that same year, it moved to larger premises and improved from a day center to a Community School.

The school is built on the St. Mary’s Parish land and is registered to the Archdiocese o Lusaka and the Ministry of Education. The management board includes Sister Jeremia Mrowiec, who is the director of the school, and the Parents School Committee (P.C.S.C.).

The School offers free education to orphans who have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, and also other vulnerable children in the communities and district of Chilanga, Zambia.

The School is sponsored by the Touch Organization of Ireland who has – over the years – donated funds to construct the classroom blocks.

There are 450 children in total (194 male and 256 female). We have one head-teacher and nine teachers - 2 male and 8 female.
