The original village primary school refurbished - walls plastered, floors cemented, new corrugated sheets on the roof, repairs to walls and woodwork, staffroom upgraded, sufficient desks for all children, resources for woodwork, home economics and science provided, and support provided for teachers on how to make most effective use of resources.

Second primary school built in outlying district of Likarangilo with 350 children on roll.

New dispensary built in memory of Angela Carey, wife of Michael Carey, the founder of the project - full-time medical officer installed.

Nineteen water pumps installed in the village.

Successful heifer project introduced under directorship of Joseph Simsokwe, the village agricultural officer. 47 families now own their own cow.

Introduction of women`s co-operative farming groups who work independently from the men.

Sunflower oil extraction plant installed which employs 8 people from April to November.

Introduction of maize milling machines (privately owned) which have drastically reduced the workload of women.

The current main project is the completion of phase 1 of the new technical secondary school which serves Luhimba and the surrounding villages. The success of this project is dependent on future fundraising. At present the school has 40 students on roll and has been open for 3 months. The plan is to complete the next 2 phases before the school is functioning to full capacity.

All these projects were introduced at the request of the villagers. None were imposed by the project leaders. The project leaders and the villagers have worked in true partnership to ensure the success of each aspect of the project, and there is no doubt that each scheme is sustainable and will be self-supporting long after the funding has ended.

The success of some aspects of the project are instantly recognisable, whilst others will bear fruit in years to come (eg better education, clean water and good nutrition).

The main success indicator of the of the Luhimba Project is the impact it has had on the quality of life of the villagers. There is an air of positive confidence in the village which was not there ten years ago.
