what bzt has done

For the last four years BZT has been working in three communities (Chibanga, Mulungwe and Katula) in the Kalwa area, see maps, making a difference to the lives of over 7,500 people by:

• enabling three schools to radically improve their facilities including building the first girls’ dormitory in a Government primary school in Zambia. Teachers’ houses have been constructed which unlock government funding for a qualified teacher and bursaries have been provided.
• improving food and income security by supporting farmers to diversify crops into growing bananas for the first time which is a crop 100 times the value per acre of maize, which can be fed by ground water and is of high nutritional value.
• addressing the scourge of HIV and AIDS by training local volunteers, and providing them with bicycles as community based councilors, peer educators and care givers reaching over 25,000 people.
• supporting the creation and training of community groups to provide local leadership.
