Project Zambia

Services

Project Zambia seeks to:

• Provide volunteers from all communities and faith backgrounds (and none) with opportunities to engage, share and reflect with our host communities in Zambia. 

• Provide opportunities for volunteers to commit themselves in the areas of support and advocacy on behalf of people – both locally and globally – who are at risk because of poverty, discrimination, lack of access to education and war. 

• Seeks to work in partnership with our host communities to tackle the effects and causes of extreme poverty in those communities through education, feeding programmes, improved access to first aid/ healthcare, clean water and safe sanitation, income-generation and empowering communities through the training of local people.

Project Zambia only works through officially recognised bodies; such as religious orders and recognised charities. We welcome volunteers and support from all sections of our community and from all faiths, genders, social backgrounds and races.
