Introduction

The KIMPUANZA School is located in the village of Banza Utende,

Catofe, in the County of Kibala, a Kwanza Sul Province, 5km of theKIMPUANZA Farm.

The existence of the school was an initiative by the Group

KIMPUANZA through KIMPUANZA Farm, which as part of their

social responsibilities, has made available to the population and

traditional authorities, one school built with the cooperation of the

villagers with: 3 (three) class rooms, one (1) secretary and one (1)

clinic, in order to give opportunity to all villagers, irrespective of age, sex, religion or political affiliation, the opportunity to learn

how to read and write until they reach the degree of schooling up

to the 5th grade, for free.









The Municipal Administration of Kibala, through the Municipal

Education Sector, joined the initiative of the KIMPUANZA Group

and gave logistical support (desks and school supplies) andinstitutional (methodological support, insertion of one (1) of the

teachers from the KIMPUANZA school, in to the Ministry of

Education under a public competition held in August 2012.









Free School Meals

The Ministry of Social Welfare and the Ministry of Health havebeen providing logistic support (food, clothes and used shoes,motorcycles, medicine, etc) for the KIMPUANZA School studentsand the population in general, in particularly for children andelderly people.

The College Filipe Fragata, a private institution based in Luanda is

responsible for coordinating educational training for the teachers,

paying their salaries, being also the speak agent of the

KIMPUANZA School alongside with the Municipal Education Sector

of the Municipal Administration of Kibala.

A group of young Portuguese and Angolans students living in

Portugal, sent clothes, shoes, books, and school supplies, as

human solidarity expression.

The KIMPUANZA School is made of adobe (made by the people),









with cement trailer, inside and outside the classrooms, in the

office and the ward, with cement floors.

The faculty consists of three locally recruited teachers with the

academic level of 9th grade. The teachers travel a daily distance

of 50 km (roundtrip), using motorcycles distributed by the

KIMPUANZA Farm who also provides the fuel supply , repair and

maintenance of the motorcycles.









In this academic year classes were held in two shifts (morningand afternoon) and teachers were as follows:

The school year begun with 88 (eighty-eight students) students,

having registered six (6) withdrawals. The KIMPUANZA School had

a fruitful academic year due to the good progress as the school

record shows.

School Meals

The distribution of school meals is a key element in the process of persuasion and

retention of most students in the School, contributing also to the rising levels of the

educational achievement. Most students come to school without taking a meal, withcertainty that during lunch time they will have a hot meal, often the only meal they will

have for the day. The school is planning for the next school year, the distribution of a

light meal at the beginning of the day and another meal during break time.









School meals, an element to keep the students

The KIMPUANZA School charges a nominal value of KZ 300.00

(three hundred kwanza) or agricultural products of the same

amount. Some villagers / guardians / parents find difficult to pay

this amount having sometimes to withdraw their children from the

school due to the lack of funds.

The KIMPUANZA Farm "banned" parents / guardians from

withdrawing their children from the school for nonpayment,

raising awareness on the importance of education for the future

of their children and informed them that the requested fee is used

to improve the school which belongs to the community.

Support received by the Kimpuanza School in 2012

The KIMPUANZA School has pedagogical and methodological

support of the College Filipe Frigata de Luanda. They have sent

school books, boxes of chalk, 3 used blackboards, Valuation Logs,

Descriptive Reports, erasers, boxes of pens, notebooks for the

students, etc.

The Kibala Municipal Sector of Education offered 50 new desks as

well as some school supplies (books). The Ministry of Social









Welfare has supported with food, used clothes, soap, etc… This

support motivates the children to stay in school. They have also

provided motorbikes for the teachers.

Eating well to perform better academically

PROSPECTIVES FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2013

For the academic year of 2013, we foresee the entry of morestudents, due to the non opening of the school at the neighboring

village of one classroom, because the teacher of that school gaveup due to the poor performance of the students

Teachers and the traditional local entities have been advised, tomobilize the parents or guardians to place their students in theKIMPUANZA School in 2013 at no cost









In the academic year of 2013, the 6th Grade will be taught (end of primary school). The Municipal Bureau of Education ensured thatat the end of the academic year of 2013, the 6 th grade studentswill make take their final exams in KIMPUANZA School and their

results will be posted on the agendas of Katofe Primary School.

Needs and Suggestions The needs of KIMPUANZA School have increased due to theincrease in numbers of students from the neighboring villages /sanzalas who do not have school. As the conditions in the schoolwill improve, and there is no shortage of teachers, we see the riseof confidence in the parents and guardians as they now watching









the return of some children from villages and towns to theKIMPUNZA School of the Utende village.

In this sense, with the aim to accommodate all requests for new

enrollments, we suggest the following:- Construction of three (3) toilets (with running water andimproved latrines) for teachers, girls and boys), 1 (one) countrykitchen for cooking school meals in School (has been done in thefarm) and rehabilitation of the teachers office;

Repair / maintenance of the building (replacement of beamssupporting the roof by irons, cracks, paint inside and out);

- build a football pitch beside the KIMPUANZA School for physical education and sports;

- Purchase and install a generator, a TV, a computer, a gas stove and the cylinder (thestove should be identical to the ones used in restaurants and not the ones normallyused at home);
