St. Vincent Pallotti School

Westwood, Lusaka

God only asks that we begin! On the first day of new year in 2015, 2 students and 1 teacher joined together in a farmhouse living room. By 2016, that number increased to 109; propelling the breaking of ground for the construction of a new school house in July 2017. Just 13 months later, on October 19 2018, St. Vincent Pallotti Catholic School was officially blessed and inaugurated.

Today, 300 children - grades 1 through 5 - are educationally engaged to know that a better world is possible, if we are committed fraternally and academically for the common good.

To ensure health and personal safety, two school busses pick-up and drop-off the students before and after lessons, and a nutritious lunch is distributed midday. With its formative role in shaping the local community, there are tentative plans to take the school up to grade 12.
