... [more] [less]What your organisation does
Project Zambia seeks to provide funds and support for some of the poorest communities in Zambia and in doing so, fulfil its purposes. We do this through organising fund-raising events, donations and grant applications. We seek to educate our volunteers and supporters about the relevant issues regarding poverty in Zambia at meetings. Some of our
volunteers travel to Zambia for a few weeks in the year to share their skills, talents and time. They witness the poverty and challenges which these communities struggle with. They also witness the projects that are affecting positive change, despite these challenges. This promotes a good working relationship between our volunteers and the Zambian communities and maintains a relationship of trust; which allows for future successful development work.
