Sometimes a simple gift can make a practical difference in a child's day. At Zamaritan, we believe service becomes meaningful when compassion turns into action. As we work toward initiatives such as providing backpacks for children, our focus remains simple: identify a need, bring people together and do something tangible about it.

The Zambia-USA Health agreement follows months of negotiations, during which Zambia raised concerns about provisions in the original proposal, particularly those relating to patient privacy and the sharing of biological specimens. According to the Zambian government, these concerns were addressed through negotiations, and the final agreement no longer contain clauses on specimen sharing and patient data, according to reports shared on 8th October.

WHAT IS THE AGREEMENT INTENDED TO SUPPORT?

1. Strengthening Zambia’s health system.
2. Supporting the recruitment of 40,000 health workers.
3. Improving health programme management and disease surveillance.
4. Supporting priority health programs.

CHOLERA AWARENESS

Every one of us has a role to play in stopping the spread of cholera and protecting our lives and the lives of others.

As Zamaritan, our role begins with spreading awareness.

How does cholera spread?
Cholera mainly spreads when people consume food or water contaminated with the bacteria that causes cholera.
Common symptoms include:
• Sudden, severe watery diarrhoea
• Vomiting
• Dehydration
• Weakness
• Muscle cramps
Severe dehydration can become life-threatening very quickly.

How can we prevent cholera?
✅ Drink safe, treated water.
✅ Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and safe water, especially after using the toilet and before preparing or eating food.
✅ Eat food that is properly cooked and safely stored.
✅ Use toilets or latrines and dispose of human waste safely.
✅ Drink safe, treated water.
✅ Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and safe water, especially after using the toilet and before preparing or eating food.
✅ Eat food that is properly cooked and safely stored.
✅ Use toilets or latrines and dispose of human waste safely.
✅ Keep food, drinking water, and utensils clean and protected from contamination.

Remember: Early action and treatment can save lives.
If you or someone around you develops symptoms of cholera, seek care promptly at the nearest health tacility.

WHY HEALTH AWARENESS IS AT THE HEART OF WHAT WE DO.

At Zamaritan, we believe that good health begins long before a person walks into a clinic or hospital.

It begins with AWARENESS.

It begins with having the right information, understanding how to prevent illness, knowing when to seek help, and being able to access essential health services that help build healthier communities.

This belief is at the heart of one of Zamaritan’s key pillars of impact: Raising awareness, preventing disease, and improving access to essential health services.

Through our work, we aim to help create communities where people are informed about their health, empowered to take preventive action, and better able to access the care they need.

As Zambia enters the rainy season, staying informed and taking preventive measures becomes even more important, particularly in vulnerable communities where waterborne diseases can pose increased health risks.

So, stay tuned, stay informed, and stay prepared.

Together, we can make prevention part of protecting our communities.

Wishing you a healthy and safe October from Zamaritan.

LUSAKA MAYOR, ZAMBIA ARMY JOIN HANDS TO KEEP THE CITY CLEAN

The Mayor of Lusaka, together with the Zambia Army and Lusaka City Council, has joined hands in a city clean-up exercise as Zambia commemorates World Environment Day.

Lusaka City Council has commended the Zambia Army for its valuable contribution towards keeping the Central Business District (C*D) clean and promoting a healthier, cleaner city.

But keeping Lusaka clean cannot be left to the Council and the Army alone. Every resident, business owner, trader, commuter and visitor has a responsibility to protect our city.

We therefore call upon all Lusaka residents to stop littering, use designated waste bins, keep their surroundings clean and take ownership of the city we all call home.

Let us move beyond clean-up campaigns and make cleanliness a daily culture.

LUSAKA IS OUR CITY. KEEP IT CLEAN. PROTECT IT. TAKE PRIDE IN IT.
