Chinyingi

Chinyingi, also Chinyinig Mission, is a town on the west bank of the upper reaches of the Zambezi River in the North West Province in Zambia. It is located 1,100 meters above sea level.

Chinyingi is a Capuchin missionary, in the near area of seven kilometers about 500 people. The mission provides a hospital with 52 beds and medical care as well as a school. Its catchment area extends to the 60 km distant Zambezi.

In the 1970s, the Capuchin monk Crispin Baleri constructed a simple suspension bridge for pedestrians after he was forced to watch as four people drowned, who wanted to bring a sick person to the hospital. He collected donations in the Copperbelt and built the bridge with unskilled workers on site. Although Baleri was not an engineer, the bridge still holds today. It is one of five bridges that span on his run over 2574 km down the Zambezi.
