MESSAGE FROM THE

COUNTRY DIRECTOR
I am pleased to provide a brief message to CARE Zambias second
Annual Report.
CARE began working in Zambia in 1992, and ever since we have tried
to contribute to Zambias development by responding to the needs of
poor and vulnerable Zambians, and by continuously adapting to their
needs, challenges and opportunities as those changed over time.

Zambia has travelled far since 1992, and is now an emerging middle income country growing steadily. The country
is maturing politically as Governments have changed peacefully through elections. Today, most of Zambias
development needs are being financed internally through Government revenues and by the GRZ borrowing
externally although Cooperating Partners continue to play an important role.
Even with the countrys strong, sustained growth, Zambias many accomplishments in the economic and social
sectors, and increasingly less reliance on development aid, we believe at CARE there is still a role for organizations
such as ours to work alongside government contributing to development priorities and responding to the needs of
the people. We can also provide objective commentary on governmental policies and budgetary allocations based
on our experience working with communities and from evidence we generate on the ground. In the year ahead we
will continue to do this.
In CARE Zambias second Annual Report, we report on our work in 2013-2014. We have reached more than 900,000
vulnerable people through programmes in child health and nutrition, fighting the AIDS pandemic, fighting genderbased violence, promoting water and sanitation, economic and gender empowerment and strengthening Zambian
civil society organizations. We are proud of the work we are doing and the opportunities we are providing to people
to change their lives.
As always, any successes we achieved wouldnt have been possible without the support of government at all levels,
partnerships with Zambian organizations, the talent and dedication of our staff and the generosity of our donors.
Because of your support for our mission, CARE Zambia is able to continue to improve the lives of those most in
need.

Thank you.
Dennis OBrien
Country Director

ABOUT US

CARE International is one of the worlds largest relief and

development organisations. Working in 90 countries in
Africa, Asia and the Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America,
the Caribbean, and Europe, CARE has integrated crosscutting approaches such as gender and diversity,
partnership, and rights-based development into their
programming in sectors that include maternal and child
health, income generation, food and nutrition, infectious
diseases, education and civil society participation. It seeks to
address the underlying causes of poverty and suffering,
empowering communities to help themselves through longterm development initiatives. Its programmes directly
improve the livelihood of more than 25 million people
worldwide each year. Millions more benefit indirectly from
CARE projects that address poverty.

With over 20 years of experience in Zambia, CARE has

been implementing projects in the areas of health and
HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, social protection,
governance, education, gender equality, economic
empowerment and environmental conservation
among others. To achieve sustainability of its
interventions and ensure true ownership in
communities of the processes supported by our work,
CARE Zambia works with existing community structures
and engages them to increase their capacities to be
responsive to their own developmental challenges
throughout project identification, implementation and
evaluation and scale up.

OUR COUNTRY OFFICE

CARE Zambia has been registered under the Societies Act
since July 12, 1994, operating under a three-year
renewable agreement between CARE International and the

Economic Empowerment has Changed My Life

Alice Mkandawires world fell apart when she lost her
husband of 31 years, Zacheo Mvula a few years ago.
Suddenly, her family had to move out of the
government house in town she and her seven children
had called home for many years, to a leaky grassthatched mud hut without electricity and running
water in the Village of Chama District in Eastern
Province.
With no income or means of livelihood, 62-year-old
Amai Mvula, as she prefers to be called, struggled to
support herself and her children. Her life was full of
challenges that sometimes she did not see the reason
to go on with life.
But today she can afford to smile again and look to the
future with hope. Thats because she is the proud
owner of a brick house that doesnt leak when it rains.
Whats more, she has an income she can call her own.
Her life has assumed a whole new purpose as a
community-based volunteer under the CARE
International Integrated Tuberculosis and AIDS (ITAP II)
Project at Chama Hospital Affiliated Health Center
(HAHC).
CARE ZAMBIA

She spends her days doing community outreach explaining the

risks of tuberculosis and HIV linkage, counselling and testing for
HIV positive individuals, and prevention of mother to child HIV
transmission and informing people how and where to obtain
health services. The project she is part of also tries to
economically empower the community based volunteers like her
using the village savings and loans model. Based on the model,
group members save money which they later lend to themselves
as loans to be repaid with interest. After a cycle of saving and
lending, the group share out based on the amounts contributed
and any profits realized from giving out loans.
Since joining the Savings Group, Amai Mula doesnt feel as
vulnerable she once did. Nor does she see herself as the most
unfortunate person on earth. With the money she earns, she
has been able to send her daughter Simeda to school, take care
of her grandchild and buy fertiliser from the local cooperative for
her small farm. She says, with a twinkle in her eye: Now that
Ive gained weight, got my own money and I am looking beautiful
again, the men around here are courting me and offering to marry
me, but I have no intention of remarrying or risk contracting HIV
like some of the widows I know. For now, all I can do is thank
ITAP II for giving me a new lease of life.

Village Savings and Loans Association: Esnarts Hope for

a Better Life
For most of her life, money has been tight for Esnart Kaputa,
70 of Kasongole village in the eastern province of Zambia. As
a housewife, she relied on her husband for practically
everything. She never bargained for being a single parent to
her eight children who also had to shoulder the burden of
being a mother to her orphaned grandchildren.

Three years before the visit from the Welfare Committee,

Esnart was identified and recruited on a child grant scheme.
The grant is part of the Zambian governments Social
Protection programme. Being a guardian of a child under the
age of 5 made her eligible for the scheme. This enables her
to meet some basic household needs such as buying soap,
mealie-meal, sugar and salt. But the cash transfers alone are
not enough to support her grandchildren
as she would like to.

But that was the card Fate dealt her when her
husband died.

SPLASH: Improving Pupils Health, Learning and Performance

The pupils and teachers of Diwa Primary School in Chipata
District now have something they didnt have one year ago
enough toilets and running water to serve a population of
almost 400 pupils.
Before then, 196 boys had to share one toilet and the 188 girls,
two. Overuse meant the ablution facilities were almost
always squalid and smelly and had to be cleaned by pupils every
two hours. Constant cleaning of the toilets affected school
attendance and pupil performance. Pupils were cutting class
because they didnt want to clean toilets. Others were
wandering off into the nearby bushes to relieve themselves.
The situation was not hygienic or conducive to learning, said
Deputy Head Teacher, of the school, Mr. George Banda.
Today, all that has changed, thanks to a USAID-funded project
called SPLASH, which stands for Schools Promoting Learning
Achievement Through Sanitation and Hygiene. With the help of
the community, the project has built a total of 14 toilets for the
pupils of Diwa Primary School. Each grade has a toilet of its
own, with pupils required to bring their own tissue paper from
home.
CARE ZAMBIA

In addition, SPLASH installed taps and repaired the

borehole which had not been working well to supply the
school with running water. People from surrounding
communities are free to fetch water from the borehole for
a fee.
The project also supplied the school with a water
tank and installed it near the classroom block.
The school WASHE Committee, which comprises teachers,
community members and two pupils, is responsible for
protecting the integrity of the facilities and ensuring that
they remain in a good state even after the end of the
project.
One parent, Ruster Nyirenda has commended SPLASH for
the initiative to improve the water and sanitation situation
at the school. I am happy that the toilet facilities have
been built in a way that gives our daughters a lot more
privacy than they had before, he said.
Diwa Primary School is one of over 400 Schools that
SPLASH is targeting to work with to build toilets and
provide clean running water.
