Empowering communities of Luangwa Valley through the benefits of tourism by investing in education

Our aim is to create an effective, co-ordinated approach to helping local communities improve their long term economic prospects whilst avoiding a negative impact on the environment and wildlife.

This Monday our Foundation Programme students embarked on another field trip. This time we visited Mizu Eco-Care Agroecology NGO located here in Mfuwe.

Mizu Eco-Care focus is to educate local farmers, existing or aspiring, about the sustainable agricultural methods, exactly as our ancestors and the natural environment intended to. The students had an amazing opportunity to learn more about agroecology, discuss and brainstorm how the alternative methods to conventional farming can be applied at home and learn more about Mizu Eco-Care’s wider mission and goals. Mr Phiri, the founder of Mizu Eco-Care, was kind enough to share his personal journey of moving from his lecturing job in Lusaka to starting Mizu Eco-Care charity seven years ago, and together with the students discuss what it means to follow your passion.

We are grateful to the Mizu Eco-Care team for dedicating their time and efforts in sustaining our natural environment, as well as welcoming our second cohort of the Foundation Programme students to their site in Mfuwe. 🍀

It is this time of the year again when all Grade 7 pupils are sitting their National Examinations. ✏️

On behalf of the entire team, Project Luangwa would like to wish all pupils the very best in their National Examinations. We hope every single one of you is proud of your achievements, and we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all the teachers and the Ministry of Education, who continue to invest in the education of future generations.

We would like to wish all communities, individuals and visitors happy Independency Day of Zambia! 🇿🇲

From the rich rhythm of Zambia's cultural dances to the pride of "One Zambia, One Nation," today we honour Zambia’s heritage, freedom, and unity.

In 2025, Project Luangwa was approached by a number of local community members requesting help with Adult Literacy Classes. They said that as we do so much for young people, can we also help them to learn to read and write?

What began as a group of 10 ladies and 1 man at one point grew to a class of 75 people!

The positive feedback, the commitment and real life benefits that communities have shared with us have been overwhelming.

One of our beneficiaries, Nthembe Banda, had to leave school in Grade 3 and since then she received no further education. Nthembe started attending Adult Literacy Classes in 2025 and according to her own words, she is now able to:

📖 Help her children and grandchildren with their school homework, more especially her son who is in Grade 5. He was unable to blend sounds into words, but with Nthembe’s help he is now able to do this independently.
📖 Be a more active participant at her local church and community activities.

Nthembe’s son, Emmanuel, has also reflected on how the home life has improved since his mum has been part of the Adult Literacy Classes. According to Emmanuel all of their literacy levels have improved and his mum, Nthembe, is now encouraging all her children to attend school and take their education seriously.

Nthembe’s story is a great reminder that the power of education extends far beyond immediate families and communities. We would like to thank Nthembe and her family for sharing their story and serving as a great reminder that education does not stop at school.

Together, we are continuing to empower communities across South Luangwa.

For a few years now, we have welcomed volunteers from the amazing Foundation for Africa/Fundacion Livingstone who kindly share their experience and knowledge with our Foundation Programme Students and Chipembele's Aspiring Conservation Leaders. Students from both organisations have an opportunity to learn how to turn their business ideas into tangible and feasible business plans.

This year we had students presenting their ideas by addressing multiple gaps in today’s environment:

🚌 Public transportation in Mfuwe
🖥️ Advanced digital IT skills
🌽 Local milling services
🍅 Connecting small-scale farmers to local businesses

The level of presentation skills, thought, and professionalism that all students have put in was incredible to see.

We would like to thank Livingstone Foundation volunteers and the wider organisation for continuing to support Project Luangwa. With your support, we continue to be able to support students of all ages and schools in achieving their educational dreams.

🌸💜 CELEBRATING THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL CHILD 2026! 💜🌸

Today is International Day of the Girl Child!

Last Friday, we joined hands with Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust - CWET and Time + Tide Foundation to celebrate the strength, dreams, resilience and limitless potential of every girl! ✨🌍

This year’s United Nations theme, “End Child Marriage and Invest in Girls’ Rights,” reminds us of the urgent need to protect girls’ rights, end harmful practices and invest in opportunities that enable every girl to learn, grow, make informed choices and shape her own future.

Through our collective commitment to education, mentorship, conservation, gender equality and community development, we strive to create opportunities for girls to discover their potential, build confidence, develop leadership skills and become agents of positive change in their communities. 💪🏽🌱

We extend our sincere gratitude to Global Sojourns Giving Circle and the lodges that generously donated cakes to make this celebration extra special: Flatdogs Camp, Chichele Presidential Lodge, Puku Ridge, The Bushcamp Company, Croc Valley Camp and Msandile.

We also thank our dedicated mentors, schools, parents and the wider community for their continued commitment to supporting and empowering our girls.

✨ When we invest in girls, we invest in stronger families, empowered communities and a brighter future for generations to come.

💜 Happy International Day of the Girl Child 2026! 💜

Pleased to share a short clip from Camp Director Adrian Coley, speaking to the Association for the Promotion of Tourism to Africa (APTA) in Livingstone last week, about the importance of the Luangwa Conservation and Community Fund.

LCCF brings together tourism businesses to invest collectively in the long-term future of South Luangwa — supporting both conservation and community development.

For Project Luangwa, that support helps us continue vital work in education, gender equality and opportunities for young people across the Valley.

In this clip, Ade talks about the various ways that support from tourism and LCCF can impact the life of a child in the Luangwa. It is a strong example of how tourism can give back to the landscape and communities on which its own future depends.

Thanks Ade for spreading this message to a wider audience.

We were excited to welcome Chikowa bricklaying - craft and trade - students at the JK Centre this week. 👷💪👷‍♀️

The tour started with a brief overview of the JK Centre and facilities led by our Foundation Programme students. We then had the privilege to welcome Mr. Jackson Mambwe who has kindly shared his knowledge and extensive experience in civil engineering. Chikowa students also had an opportunity to learn about the making process of the bricks used to build all JK Centre facilities without using any other form of heat besides the Zambian sun available all year round. 🌞

Finally, the tour was finished with a discussion between our JK
Centre residents and Chikowa students on what it is like to be living at the Centre. Visits like these allow our Foundation Programme and Chikowa students not only share the knowledge that may help in their respective fields, but build lifelong connections and stronger partnerships.

We are looking forward to the next Chikowa students to visit us again in 2027!

At the beginning of this year, Project Luangwa was selected for a grant from Starlizard via the Bloom Foundation. Last week, we had the privilege to host ten employees from Starlizard, who wanted to visit the projects they so kindly supported. 🏆

Throughout the week, our guests had a chance to experience a number of our programmes first hand:
👉🏿Learning about Digilearn Programme at our DigiTruck and visit a local school
👉🏿Teaching ECE pupils English language skills at one of our Reading Centres
👉🏿Building connections and share experiences with our Foundation Programme students
👉🏿Learning more about Eco-Stoves and build new stoves across three households

Finally, the trip would have not been complete without a friendly football match at the JK Centre! ⚽

We are grateful for the donation received from the Starlizard team via the Bloom Foundation. This support helped Project Luangwa continue delivering and strengthening its programmes and supporting the wider communities of South Luangwa. ✨
