Public Schools Founded
The well-known Duisburger company Schauinsland-Reisen GmbH donated a total of 30 premium PCs including LCD screens to ZAC e.V. This donation will be the decisive component for the ZAC project “modern training systems” at two schools in the Lutindi village community, where ZAC will establish its children’s village.
