Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives
In the rural heartlands of Zambia, amidst the beauty and challenges of everyday life, The Oswell Mwenya Chongo Foundation is a beacon of hope and change. We recognize and address the plight of overlooked locals living in abject poverty. Our focus is on creating community centers in the Luapula Province, starting with the Chienge area, to foster skills, resilience, and self-reliance.
Our goal is to break the cycle of poverty by providing hands-on training and education in basic and modern practices. These community centers are more than just buildings; they are hubs of learning and empowerment, offering short-term, practical programs in various fields. From addressing poor housing and sanitation to harnessing natural resources like solar and wind energy, our programs are designed to uplift and transform.
Our Focus Areas:
We understand the challenges faced by those in remote areas – the lack of access to trade schools and higher education, the financial barriers, and the limited opportunities. Our response is a model that brings the community centers to the community. With trained instructors and targeted programs, we aim to equip individuals with skills that lead to self-sufficiency, employment, and an improved standard of living.
Together, we can make a significant impact. We invite you to join us in this transformative journey. Your support, whether through volunteering, donations, or partnerships, can make a real difference in the lives of many.
