MEET THE TEAM IN ZAMBIA
Our wonderful team in Zambia are loyal, passionate and hard working. They are simply determined to help the disadvantaged in their country and in particular the children in our programmes. All of our team are community activists who started off with us by volunteering, and then made themselves indispensable. We are very proud of what they have achieved on limited resources.

Director of Operations Andrew is at the heart of everything we do in Zambia and is often greeted in the villages as "Mr Baraka". He has a fantastic ability to galvanise rural communities and is equally comfortable lobbying government officials. He is responsible for over 50 of our construction projects.

Learning Centre Caretaker Timmy has been involved with us since 2009 mainly as the driver for our volunteer trips. He forced his way into our team through sheer passion and dedication to our cause. "The happy faces of the kids, and the passionate volunteers I met on several work camps, inspired me to get involved hands on."

Education Field Officer Cosmas has been with us from the very start and has been running community sports programmes since 2002. In Cos's own words: "I believe that given a chance the less privileged can do as much as the privileged can. It's just a matter of levelling the playing field." |
