Mumuni Choma Library (16°48’54”S, 26°56’36”E)
Located 1km from the Choma Museum
Corner of 1st Avenue and Rhodes Street
Choma, Southern Province
Host Organization: Brethren in Christ Church’s Choma Child Development Project
The Mumuni Choma Library opened its doors in 2022. Lubuto partnered with Brethren in Christ Church’s Choma Child Development Project (CCDP), an NGO that provides educational, health and psychosocial support services to vulnerable women and children in the provincial capital of Southern Province and 54 surrounding villages. As the rapidly-growing new capital of Zambia’s Southern Province, Choma has some 35,000 people who are 24 or younger. The area is also characterized as having extremely limited access to educational facilities and a very high illiteracy rate.
We developed plans and trained Choma Child Development Project staff to operate a Lubuto Library that was built for them, once again, with support from ASHA.
