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.

The origins of the name Makeni are unclear. 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.^{[citation needed]}

Schools include Bayuni School and Makeni Centre Primary School.

It is the home of the Majestic Casino and The Great Wall Chinese Casino.^{[citation needed]}
