EDUCATION
The Butterfly Tree has started construction on a 1x3 classroom block for Mikata in Kalomo District. The school was granted secondary school status by the Ministry of Education but it will virtually be impossible for the community to build such a facility. Currently grades 8 and 9 pupils are sharing the primary school classrooms, resulting in reduced learning time.

HEALTH
Great progress being made on the new health post at Maile Male in Kalomo District. The facility, funded by the Overseas Aid and Development Commission of Guernsey, will include a clinic, two staff houses, a borehole, toilets, and a bio-digester for waste. 1,200 mosquito nets will shortly be distributed to school children in the area to help prevent them from contracting malaria. On completion solar power will be added to the clinic and staff houses, and equipment will be provided. The Butterfly Tree will then hand the facility over to the Ministry of Health who will provide trained staff and ongoing costs.
