Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On September 8, 2009, the Chinese Government committed to grant RMB 10 million for the construction of two rural secondary schools in Thyolo and Lilongwe, respectively. Gansu Overseas Engineering Corporation and Hualong Construction Company were the contractors responsible for implementation of the school construction projects. The Thyolo Secondary School (also known as the Matapwata Community Day Secondary School or or 公司承建的援马拉维巧乐中学) construction project cost 200 million Kwacha. It is located at Goliati in Thyolo district. Its construction began on December 20, 2010 with a brick-laying ceremony. It was completed on July 18, 2012, and officially handed over on October 24, 2014. It now accommodates more than 300 students. It is unclear if the construction of a secondary school in Lilongwe ever took place. Its completion date is unknown.
