Zambart staff have donated sanitary pads, school supplies, cleaning materials and other essential items to the HEAL Project, reaffirming the organisation’s commitment to supporting vulnerable children affected by HIV and TB. Speaking on behalf of Zambart’s Executive Director, Dr. Kwame Shanaube, the organisation’s Communications Officer, Chama Kapatamoyo, noted that the gesture was made in not only in the spirit of Christmas a season dedicated to giving and uplifting those in need but also on a quest to Improve Health for All.
The HEAL Project is a community centre and day school in Ngombe Township in Lusaka catering to pre-grade 7 students. The school also provides lunch to 300 learners daily, ensuring both educational and nutritional needs are met.
During the handover, Ms. Kapatamoyo commended the HEAL Project for its impactful work in supporting over 300 children with education, meals and psychosocial care. She emphasized that while progress has been made in addressing HIV and TB, many families continue to face social and economic challenges, making initiatives like HEAL essential and deserving of sustained community support.
She further praised the project’s nearly 30 years of dedicated service and reaffirmed Zambart’s commitment to standing alongside the HEAL Project.
