The Zambia Community Education Initiative (ZCEI) is a student organization at Cornell University that aims to develop sustainable secondary education in Zambia by working with local communities to make education accessible to all. The ZCEI is currently working with the Chisekesi community in Southern Providence to fund the building of a secondary school. The inhabitants of rural Chisekesi have no high school, despite the presence of eight basic schools. The nearest high school is over 20km away and costs 600 dollars a year. The distance and cost are largely responsible for the high drop-out rate for ninth graders, leading to high illiteracy rates. For those who do not drop out, the long distances make children (especially female children) vulnerable to assault, sexual harassment and rape. The ZCEI helps to raise money for education opportunities in Chisekesi, collaborates closely with community leaders in Zambia and has taken annual summer trips to the community.
