Why we do it

We build essential facilities such as schools, clinics and houses. On each and every building project we train local men and women in sustainable building skills.

Why?

Because there is a huge lack of essential buildings and simply not enough skilled builders.

The facts speak for themselves...

  • Over 64% live below the poverty line
  • Construction represents 15% of the economy and is growing rapidly
  • Half of all Zambians are unemployed
  • Thousands of skilled construction workers are required
  • Over 16,000 classrooms are required to meet the basic need
  • 40% of people cannot access adequate healthcare
  • 1 in 4 children do not finish primary school
  • Only 28% of children go onto secondary education
  • Many face an 8 hour walk to nearest health clinic
