Kasakula Secondary School, Background Information

Established in the year 2001, Kasakula Day Secondary School was named after Senior Chief Kasakula who provided space for the school construction. It was established in order to provide education to the rural masses of Kasakula as well as people of Ntchisi District as a whole thus trying to decongest Ntchisi and M’mbomba Secondary Schools.The School is in Ntchisi South East Constituency about 48 Kilometres away from Ntchisi Boma, at the foot of Ntchisi Mountain. The place where the school was built was previously a Malawi Young Pioneers’ base during the one party system of government. By design, Kasakula is a day Secondary School but operates a full boarding for girls and partial boarding for boys i.e. only 56 boys are accommodated on campus while all girls are boarders except a few who operate as day scholars because of financial challenges. It is a double stream school with an official capacity 400 students thus 200 Boys and 200 Girls.

The Board of Governors is embarking on construction of a semi-detached house for teachers. This has been initiated to counter the shortage of teacher’s houses which impinges on the required teacher – student ration. The house is at foundation level and has stopped temporarily because of financial challenges. However, the BOG is engaged in some resource mobilization activities for the project as well as the purchase of chairs since chairs have become another challenge.

Our Projects

Finished Projects

We have completed construction of a hostel for the boys and it is now in use. The hostel has also been electrified. We have constructed toilets for the boys to enhance sanitation and hygiene. We have also maintained several broken beds for students and they are now in use. We also cultivated vegetables for our own consumption. Cultivation of vegetables for students' consumption assisted in saving more money spent on supplies. All these projects were financed by funds obtained from students (School Development Funds). Please note that the project of cultivating vegetables has now become an on-going activity of the school due to its benefits.

Future Projects

As a school, Kasakula’s BOG has huge future plans for the continued growth of the school in both infrastructure and capacity (enrolment). The BOG therefore plans to build more houses for teachers so as to accommodate all teachers within reach as the community around does not have good houses for teachers’ of the desired caliber. Building additional hostels for boys and renovation of the school in general are other plans for the school to reclaim its original beauty. Cognizant of such huge plans, it is inevitable that the school requires assistance from well-wishers. Donate to us to support the provision of quality secondary education.
