Dignity Zambia is a charity to raise funds to build maternity hospital in Nalolo, Zambia and also for emergency aid worldwide

Overall Update:
So now we have achieved our goal
This year we have raised so far around $34,000 AUD for fit out and to furnish our medical quarters at the Arthur Wina Hospital in the remote village of Nalolo Zambia. This completes the final task after 12 years and I will oversee this last task.
So having started out in 2014 with a dream I promised the local Chief and Hon Inonge Wina I would build a hospital for childbirth in one of the remotest hard to get to villages in Africa - where there was no running water, no roads, no power. Everything is possible to those who believe!
The stage 1 build and hospital for childbirth was opened in October 2019 by President Kaunda with thousands in attendance. Stage 2 buildings expanded the hospital and beds, plus extra space for dentistry, Physio opened 2023/24 and stage 3 build was completed in 2026 Fitout will be complete in 2027. The donor of our ambulance - Dr Cathy Love GP Obstetrician - has offered to travel annually to support the hospital from 2027 The hospital is managed by United Church of Zambia, Arthur Wina Memorial Foundation and Dept Health Zambia provides staff and meds. This is a sustainable project! The whole village is tapping into power and roads and the village has come alive. Over 3,000 babies have been born and the locals love our hospital. Not one mother has died. Thank you everyone for your ongoing love and support of this blessed project 🩷🩷🩷thanks be to God the miracle worker. (I will keep in touch to show you fit out and furnishings as completed. )
