Makeni, Zambia

Makeni is a suburb in Lusaka, Zambia.

The Makeni Ecumenical Centre is situated here, providing primary, secondary and adult education courses in a variety of vocational subjects, as well as clinics, family planning services, and an AIDS orphan village.

However the Livingstone Mail [1] reported that in 1914 Major Boyd Cunningham had a farm called Makeni in Lusaka.

[2] A folk etymology has been suggested that the name derives from a Scottish name, McKenny.
