The Limapela Foundation was established in New Zealand in 2008 for the benefit of education in poorer communities in Zambia. The Limpela Cedric’s Basic School, near Kitwe in the Copperbelt Province, is the Foundation’s first project. This is being overseen by Limapela Development Limited, the Foundation’s legal entity in Zambia. This primary school was established in 1979 by Cedric Whittemore to provide education for the children of his employees.
Pastor Robert Kilembo, Director of Kafakumba Training Center, is on the Board of the Foundation.
This school was established in Kamfinsa in 1979 by British settler famer Cedric Whittemore. Limapela Development purchased the school in 2009. 400 pupils from the local area are enrolled in Preschool through Grade 9. Limapela employs 16 qualified Zambian teachers and two administrative staff members.
Luyando Community School was established as a Community School by the Give Hope Trust at Kamafwesa Village, near Ndola, in 2006. Limapela was invited by Give Hope in 2013 to take over the administration of the school. 330 pupils from the local area are enrolled in Preschool through Grade 7, taught by 10 qualified Zambian teachers.
