A group of local people were inspired by the charitable work which St Mary’s CBGS carried out during the few years prior to this and decided to set up a charity to continue this work. Since then, each summer, an adult group of volunteers has fundraised and travelled to Zambia with the aim of affecting positive change and building relationships with host communities. We have grown considerably and gained much local support. Today, we continue to fulfil the aims of the original group but we now operate on a larger scale; currently supporting several communities, all on a voluntary basis. There have been many great achievements and challenges in this time. It is a testament to our volunteers that after all this time; we are still successfully supporting the communities who we are committed to. Zambia is a sub-Saharan country which is extremely poor, with poverty affecting every aspect of life. The average life expectancy is currently only 48 years old, compared to the 82 years in the UK and Ireland. Many people live in substandard accommodation; effectively slum conditions. School are often too expensive for families meaning children do not have access to education and diets are be very poor with most children facing malnourishment and hunger. The country has high rate of HIV/ AIDS and as a result, a high proportion of the child population is orphaned. Therefore grand-parent led households and child-led households are common. Despite the difficult circumstances, Project Zambia has affected positive progress with impoverished communities. This is only possible with the support of the communities and trusted associates who represent them. Project Zambia became involved with the current communities through the help of the Christian Brothers, who were kind enough to give us their local knowledge and organised initial introductions; particularly Br Mc Court and Br Kearney. They highlighted areas which were in great need of support and introduced Project Zambia to trusted associates who we continue to work with to this day. The Christian Brothers and the wider Edmund Rice Network (ERN) continue to be a great support to Project Zambia. https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/8306325c-781b-448f-99ef-4b116a8c178b/playlist.m3u8 https://video.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/8306325c-781b-448f-99ef-4b116a8c178b/thumbnail About Us About Us https://projectzambia.co.uk/donate daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://projectzambia.co.uk/st-lawrence-school-and-special-needs-centre daily 0.75 2023-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/b87d6538-1aba-420e-b1b2-96b21ed3bb7b/IMG_1467.jpg St Lawrence School and Special Needs Centre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/dc9d9c7f-536b-454b-8601-e70da7906a04/st+lawrence+blackboard.JPG St Lawrence School and Special Needs Centre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/10d1897c-1ae3-4bf4-827b-5f0f63b4cc1d/st+lawrencce.png St Lawrence School and Special Needs Centre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/0564970d-f498-4c81-b0eb-5e41159e1775/projectzambia_-67.jpg St Lawrence School and Special Needs Centre https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/eb52ca91-c39b-47eb-830c-789c5d5ea8fe/projectzambia_-50+%281%29.jpg St Lawrence School and Special Needs Centre https://projectzambia.co.uk/angels-in-development daily 0.75 2023-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/047db3b2-4d8d-46b5-a8d6-cc2df9e875d1/kabwata+garden.JPG Angels in Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/ae293a6d-5e15-4372-bb5d-6613d915ae2c/projectzambia_-8.jpg Angels in Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/590e6271-088e-48f5-a788-0b9d41cb3f44/kabwata+garden+2.JPG Angels in Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/d9307218-e78b-4bed-91c8-a41ca268f981/DSCN1038.JPG Angels in Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/2763920c-300a-4885-a7be-0c265a23140c/DSCN0554.JPG Angels in Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/2498f997-5803-4621-a1f6-dac840845ca6/DSCN1041.JPG Angels in Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/6505f4d8-7a02-483c-b415-578e6b1332d7/DSCN1114.JPG Angels in Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/1689684573985-DJHC88B7OFSDYYZADOYS/IMG_20230711_173430_970.jpg Angels in Development https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/5dcf5c0a-1e35-4648-8d51-2adb9387c461/projectzambia_-14.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/7d6c5cf2-8caf-43c2-a234-839e1d1a2f60/projectzambia_-3+%281%29.jpg Angels in Development -

The Home of Hope serves as a refuge for approx. 65 homeless youths who have run away from home and have been living on the streets of Lusaka. Many of the boys have been a witness to or victim of trauma, abuse, drugs and in some cases, prostitution. Whilst residing there, Home of Hope staff make efforts to find the young person’s family and attempts to reintegrate them to their home or to a close relative’s home. This is not a simple process as there may be issues regarding the circumstances in which they ran away which need resolved before they return home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/582d648d-dcb9-4f8f-b374-0ece7f876979/projectzambia_-26+%281%29.jpg Home of Hope - The Home of Hope offers family therapy and support around resolving these issues. Whilst this work is on-going, the boys reside in the Home of Hope. In circumstances where it is not possible for the young person to return home or where the family cannot be found, then the Home of Hope becomes the person’s home until they are 18 years old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7f84c92b277d15c010fed5/e809165a-0f57-4010-8e2e-216dd8cb0e9a/projectzambia_-62.jpg Home of Hope - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
