Zambia Sugar Building Nursing School
ZAMBIA Sugar Plc has injected K1.1 million into the construction of a nursing school at Rusangu University in Monze as part of its corporate social responsibility.
Zambia Sugar head of corporate affairs Japhet Banda said in an interview at the 51st Zambia International Trade Fair (ZITF), which closed on Tuesday, that the construction of a nursing school at the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church-owned university has started.
Mr Banda said Zambia Sugar’s financial injection into Rusangu University’s nursing school demonstrates the company’s commitment to supplementing Government’s efforts in the construction of modern education facilities.
“We believe our investment in the nursing school project will benefit a lot of young people who want to join the health sector as nurses,” Mr Banda said.
He said the construction of the nursing school is expected to be completed before the end of the year.
He also said Zambia Sugar Plc has pumped K506,000 in the construction of a classroom block at Kaonga Secondary School in Mazabuka and spent K120, 000 on the electrification of Kabanje Primary School in the same area.

That is commendable move which a lot of companies need to emulate, most companies in this country can’t pledge even a can of paint to our primary schools. government needs to make corporate social responsibility mandatory.
