Agriculture & Enterprise

The Middle Sabi valley's fertile land lets Chibuwe run agriculture as a working operation, not just a subject — feeding the boarding population and generating real revenue.

Agriculture at Chibuwe Technical High School
Market Garden

The Market Garden

A 2.5-acre market garden yields continuous harvests of onions, tomatoes, maize, okra, beans, and bananas — channelled directly into the school's dining halls, cutting external food procurement costs for 900 boarders.

Livestock & Aquaculture

Poultry

An active, high-yield poultry project supplying the school's kitchens.

Cattle Fattening

A livestock fattening programme that raises and processes cattle sourced from local valley farmers.

Aquaculture

A three-tier fish pond system built for full-fledged aquaculture.

Piggery

Piggery

An industrial-scale piggery housing over 150 pigs — the foundation of the school's biogas system.

Circular Economy

The Largest School Biogas Plant in Zimbabwe

Waste from the 150+ pig piggery isn't discarded — it fuels a state-of-the-art biogas facility, officially recognised as the largest of its kind at any school in the country. The system captures methane from decomposing manure and pipes it directly into the students' dining room and staff kitchen.

Livestock produces food and biological waste

Waste is converted into zero-emission renewable energy

That energy cooks the food that sustains the student body
