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.
