The handover is aimed at improving access to education and health services at the mission, which played a key role in shaping Zambia’s founding leader.

In a statement, President Hichilema said the project—funded from family resources—reflects a strong belief in education as a driver of empowerment and opportunity.

“Education is the most powerful instrument for empowerment. It equips individuals with knowledge, unlocks opportunity and breaks down barriers,” he said.

He added that investing in education helps build a more equitable and prosperous society, describing it as one of the most important commitments any nation can make.

Lubwa Mission holds historical significance as the place where Dr Kaunda both studied and later taught, contributing to his early development as a leader.
