In how we work, Project Zambia will help with
funding of projects:
-
which will have a long term, empowering impact
-
that have a community benefit
-
that are sustainable
-
that are based on ideas that come from our host communities
In our
immersion programmes, we will:
-
work in partnership, alongside our host community
-
respectful of culture and local tradition
-
work with local community leaders and leaders, to allow transparency for the host communities
In formation we will:
-
as far as possible, prepare our volunteers for their time in Zambia
-
disseminate much needed practical information to our volunteer
-
provide education which will help our volunteers to understand more about concepts such as poverty
-
create an environment which encourages community
-
encourage volunteers to ask questions, keep ourselves available to answer questions, where possible.
-
Without discrimination, facilitate volunteers in working with our Project
The main skill which volunteers must bring to
Project Zambia is true human compassion, as
identified by Martin Luther King: 'True
compassion is more than flinging a coin to a
beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It
comes to see that an edifice which produces
beggars needs restructuring. |
