Mporokoso school in Northern Zambia is situated about 186km from Kasama, which, because of the state of the roads, can easily take a day to reach. There are around 40 children who are all either blind, partially sighted or albino who are looked after by Sister Agnes who is the headmistress of the school. Many of the children suffer from sunburn due to the lack of pigmentation in their skin and obviously there are a large number of eye diseases. Many of the children have been left blind or with failing sight as a result of living in the Kapata region where many eye infections are picked up from the lake water.

The school makes all its own Braille books by translating text books and reading books including an edition of the bible.

The staff also treat any and all of the health problems that the children and families in the immediate area encounter. A doctor visits for one afternoon each month. He travels by plane and lands on a strip of land which ad-joins the grounds of the school.
