Project in Zambia

  • Action Against Hunger UK

    Many people living with HIV in Zambia do not have access to the right medical care and if they are too sick to work, they often do not get enough food. The project supports people to lobby the government for access to medical treatment and life-saving antiretroviral drugs. People living with HIV and their relatives are offered training and the opportunity to set up small businesses to support and feed themselves as well as family members who are too ill to work.

  • Action on Disability and Development

    Throughout Africa, disabled people are amongst the poorest, and are often stigmatised and rejected by society. This project supports the work of disabled people's organisations in four African countries and lobbies their governments to improve the provision of accessible health care, education and other services to disabled people. They use the media and other avenues to challenge the stigma and discrimination disabled people face and work to ensure that disabled people are included in all parts of society. This project operates in four countries, with a spend of £750,000 in each location.

    Amount Awarded: £750000

  • CODA International Training

    Women and girls in Zambia who face discrimination or violence often do not know where to go for support, and local authorities are often ill-equipped to deal with such cases. The project works to promote a better understanding of women's rights in Zambian law, and to equip the police and local authorities to respond appropriately. There is also campaigning to ensure laws and practices that discriminate against women are changed.

    Amount Awarded: £467986

  • Concern Worldwide

    People living with HIV face isolation when they learn their HIV status and rejection and discrimination when others find out. This project provides care and support for people with HIV in Zambia and brings people together for fun activities, to generate income and produce food. Through these groups, people living with HIV can participate in education campaigns to challenge the stigma and discrimination they face. They can also advocate for better services and access to treatment. This means they feel more accepted in their communities, have a better income and more access to food.

  • Homeless International

    Urban slum dwellers across Malawi and Zambia face overcrowding, forced evictions and deplorable living conditions. The project supports slum dwellers to organise themselves into small savings groups, and then to work with the government in order to get loans to build their own houses. Once they get government recognition, they are better placed to influence local government’s urban development plans, and make sure they take into account the needs of the poorest members of their community. This project operates in two countries, with a spend of £500,000 in each location.

  • One World Action

    Women are likely to have practical ideas for improving their own lives to lift their families out of poverty, but they often don’t have the confidence to express their needs. This project works to increase women's participation and representation in community groups, local councils, school management committees and others organisations, so they are listened to and their opinions are valued. They do this by providing leadership and other forms of training to build women's confidence and ability to express their needs and become leaders on decisions that affect their lives. This project operates in two countries, with a spend of £434,779 in each location.

  • Target Tuberculosis

    TB is the primary cause of AIDS-related deaths, yet it is treatable if caught early. The project works to help poor people get a diagnosis and treatment early. It also provides direct support at home, including medicine, food and emotional support. Caregivers receive training and credit so they can set up small business, so they can support themselves. This work helps to change community attitudes to TB and HIV and provides better access to treatment.

  • Twin

    Millions of farmers and producers throughout the world do not get a fair price for their produce. The project supports nut producers in Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique to get access to essential tools which mean women no longer have to do the work of shelling the nuts by hand. This will also improve the quality of the produce and help to secure a fairer price. This project operates in three countries, with a spend of £59,333 in each location.

    Amount Awarded: £59333

  • Twin

    Over 70% of Africa's people rely on producing food to make a living, but unfair trade rules mean that small-scale farmers struggle to get a fair price for their produce. The project is working to unite farmers’ groups in key countries in Africa to campaign for changes in government policies so that they can better access international markets. The farmers also receive training to ensure their produce meets the Fairtrade standard for export. This project operates in nine countries, with a spend of £89,255.56 in each location.

    Amount Awarded: £89255

  • Twin

    Many farmers in the developing world stay trapped in poverty because they do not get a fair price for what they grow. The project is supporting nut farmers, who are particularly vulnerable to low prices, to get a fairer deal by setting up a company where farmers have greater ownership and the profits are ploughed back into the community so everyone feels the benefits. This project operates in three countries, with a spend of £247,600 in each location.

  • War on Want

    Women workers often face discrimination and yet have no support to speak out about how they are being treated. This project works to improve the livelihoods of poor women flower workers in Kenya and Zambia. By providing training and advice, and helping women to form representative groups, they are better able to get their voices heard and secure lasting improvements in their working conditions. This project operates in two countries, with a spend of £182,334 in each location
