DONATIONS and PROJECTS 2024
Generous Donation from Sant’Apollinare thanks to the New Year’s Eve Ball 23 May 2024
An eagerly awaited evening marked the calendar of the students of the Sant’Apollinare Institute: the traditional End of Year Ball, an unmissable event to celebrate the end of high school students’ studies and to help our children in Zambia. This year, the evening took place on May 23rd at the “Casale Realmonte” location.
A charitable contribution has been added to the participation fee to support the “Amici di Dagama Home” initiative, thus reflecting the spirit of community and solidarity that characterizes the students of Sant’Apollinare.
PROJECTS 2023:
Project supported by the Thales Solidarity charitable fund: Secondary School STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, Education for Sustainable Development in Zambia
This project allows Zambian poor girls – unable to access long distance secondary school – to continue their
schooling. With this help we can significantly increase the number low-income students who go to school and can
earn a STEM diploma.
35 Zambian girls (grades eight to nine, ages 15 and 16) and their families (about 70 family members indirectly
helped), will beneficiate from this project, due to the relevance of youth’s secondary education for a sustainable
society.
The beneficiaries are Girls because they do less well in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects than boys and are under-represented in
science-related careers.
STEM education at secondary level has a vital role to play in sustainable development and the provision of
sustainable work opportunities. Crucially, it needs to be relevant and accessible to all pupils, especially as
secondary education becomes mass education.
Beneficiaries are also STEM school staff for the increased enrolment

2021
We financed the construction of a well in Buntungwa, the compound near the mission where many of the children we have adopted are located. Sister Sabine told us that there was no drinking water in the whole village. As can be seen from photos. That well has now become a precious resource for everyone!

Acquisition of 30 beds for ‘Itezhi Tezhi District Hospital‘
Thanks to the help of many benefactors, we contributed to the purchase of 30 hospital beds that have arrived and are already operational in Itezi Tehzi in the only hospital in the area. “Itezhi Tezhi District Hospital” has 50 beds in all plus 6 for children in Maternity.
The district of Itezhi Tezhi has about 100,000 inhabitants, scattered in numerous villages, between the lake of the same name, the plain of the Kafue river and the slight hills further north.
Here Don Michele, a Comboni priest, works to help the population who continue to die of malaria, tuberculosis, meningitis or crocodile bites.
The district, located in the central area of Zambia, is more than 500 km from the Luanchya area where we work with DaGama and the missionary nuns of Assisi.

Chapter of Chililabombwe
In the little town of Chililabombwe, near Congo, has been built ( thanks to a donor) a little – very beautiful – Chapter, in the convent of the sisters , where a lot of zambian people go to pray.
Realization of TWO ARTESIAN WELLS in the little town of Chililabombwe
This year DaGama Onlus also funded the realization of two Artesian Wells – in very poor farms (very low-income communities) near the little town of Chililabombwe.
Extension of MOTHER ANGELA CONVENT SCHOOL
The Extension of Mother Angela Convent School is continuing. The very beautiful school permits the education for poor villages in the north of Zambia from grade 1 to Grade 12.
ST WILLIAM COMMUNITY SCHOOL Renovation, Walale
Amici di Dagama Onlus has built St. William School some years ago. The school – in a very poor farm near Luanshya – was damaged from acts of vandalism. Recently it has been completely refurbished.
