Our Motto

Training for a Better Tomorrow

Practical Skills for Jobs and Entrepreneurship — empowering individuals to build a future for themselves and Zambia.

Our Background

Craw Hammer Trades School was born in the 1990s, following the privatization of ZCCM, where it originally operated as a youth training and development centre. This foundation gave the school strong roots, supported by ZCCM Nchanga Division, and continues to benefit our community today.

Located in the township, most of our students are children and dependants of miners. We also offer part-time programmes for miners and are looking to extend our services to other companies in the informal sector.
