The good practice is called secure and safe boarding houses for school children. The project is situated in Mtorashanga area which is a mining community surrounded by farming communities. There is no boarding school in the area. There are two day secondary schools in the area which cater for Mtorashanga community, Urungwe farm, Landfall farm, Jester farm and 3 sisters farm. Some of the school children live a distant from school and have looked for some lodging places in Mutorashonga. ZIMSCO a mining company in the area which is the authority in Mtorashanga was/is renting houses to these school children. The motivation that brought about the project was that most of the school children renting houses come from poor families and end up in promiscuity in trying to augment the meagre income that they get from their families. Some girls are just abused by male adults who take advantage that these children live away from their parents. Even boys end up doing some ills which are detrimental to their lives such as smoking drugs. In order to bring sanity and parental guidance to these children, as the local councillor after noticing the abuse of these children I decided to accommodate these children under one roof. It is a good practice since these children will be living under boarding environment with boarding supervisors acting as loco-parents which reduce the abuse of these children by bad members of the community.
