African Revival has been working with Kinnertone Primary School in Southern Zambia for the past 4 years. When the school was set up in 1995, it was little more than a single open-sided classroom with a thatched roof and dirt floor. By 2008, the community had gathered enough money to start constructing a single roomed brick classroom building, however, funds ran out before it could be completed. In early 2009, African Revival funded the completion of the building and drilled a borehold close to the school, giving the children and teachers access to clean and safe water.

The work was completed in August 2010 and AR funirhsed the new classrooms.
