The groundbreaking ceremony took place on Sunday, led by Reverend Domingos Garcia Zola, the general secretary of the IEA, in a special service attended by local residents, invited guests, and representatives from the municipal administration.

Reverend Afonso Joo Miguel, the Regional Pastor of the IEA in Bengo, emphasized the church's dedication to driving social change through such projects.

'The Church is at the forefront of building a better society. Investing in education is investing in people, in their future and in the future of the country', declared the religious leader.
