Stakeholder and community engagement forms an important part of the NMSI’s modus operandi and it is therefore a pleasure to report that through Velos, one of NMSI’s main Zambian contractors working on the construction of the District Hospitals, a number of fruitful schemes have been initiated…
Mambwe District Hospital
A relationship has been with the orphanage local to the Mambwe District Hospital site, regularly providing household and food supplies, while excavated topsoil has also been given for landscaping and planting vegetables.
Velos has also been working on a longer-term project of renovating some of the orphanage’s buildings, thus far providing a new roof utilized from the engineered steel frame off cuts. Plumbing and plastering works will also be completed for a kitchen area.
Mwansabombwe District Hospital
Renovation works have also been carried out at a local orphanage close to the Mwansabombwe District Hospital site. An access track to the playground was cleared and the area re-surfaced; the swings, slide and bench were repainted; and supplies of biscuits and sweets were provided for the children.
The management of the orphanage expressed gratitude on behalf of the children.
