3/3 I helped the school children with the planting of a fruit tree.
Trees are important in providing shade, nutrition and helping to mitigate the impact of climate change.
2/3 But fees are not the only barriers to education.
I’ve also seen how #UKAid support on sanitation, nutrition and sexual & reproduction health is making it easier for all children - but especially teenage girls - to continue their education.
1/3 Access to #education is vitally important in ensuring children are able to thrive and fill their potential. Today I’ve heard from pupils and teachers at Mulola school in Kapete District on how Zambia’s free school policy is increasing access to #education.
Proud to announce $100m expansion of UK investment by Moxico at Mimbula.
In addition to creating jobs this will contribute to meeting the government targets to dramatically increase copper production in Zambia.
Delighted to join @NickODonohoe CEO @Britishintinv and Minister #MCTI last night to launch British International Investment 🇬🇧 in Zambia.
