ZASHO HOLDS A COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND SENSITIZATION MEETING IN NKUPISHA VILLAGE CHIKANKATA DISTRICT- SEPTEMBER, 2026

Recently,Zambian Adolteens Sustainable Health Organization (ZASHO) successfully conducted a Community Awareness and Sensitization Meeting on "Empowering Women through Gender-Responsive Agroecology for Food Security in Chikankata District.” This meeting comes at a critical time as we prepare for the forecasted El Nino this season.

Participants included women smallholder farmers, local leaders and youth activists who were drawn from the following villages :Nkupisha Village,,Mooya Village, Limbalamina Village, Chibize Village, Mushimba Village, and Kanungo Village.

In response to the anticipated El Niño conditions, participants were encouraged to adopt gender-responsive agroecological practices as a climate-resilience strategy. These include soil moisture conservation through organic composting, crop diversification using drought-tolerant traditional crops, water harvesting, and indigenous seed saving and preservation, as these practices can help strengthen household food security, protect livelihoods, and enhance communities’ resilience to drought and climate-related shocks.Hence ZASHO remains committed to promoting gender-responsive agroecology as a sustainable and community-led solution.

We sincerely thank all participants for their invaluable support and commitment to advancing the agroecological agenda for sustainable food systems, food sovereignty, gender equity, and climate resilience.

RADIO PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT
Hosted by Namwianga Radio Station
Kalomo District

On a recent radio program, ZASHO, member of the DISTRICT VOTER EDUCATION COMMITTEE (DVEC) represented by Terry Chizyuka, together with DVEC Chairperson Mr. Andrew Nswana, joined the discussion on a topic that affects us all:

CORRUPTION IN THE ELECTORAL PROCESS

What is corruption?
It was explained that corruption is any attempt to use dishonest methods or means to win elections. Activities such as vote buying and bribery fall under corruption.

The panel stressed that corruption in elections undermines the integrity and credibility of the electoral process, and ultimately, it undermines democracy itself.

Two major common corruption practices where highlighted:
1. Bribery– Offering money, gifts, or favors to influence someone’s vote, or to convince them not to vote at all.
2. Vote Buying– Exchanging voters’ cards for items like money, salt, sugar, soap, and other valuables.
It was noted that this practice disenfranchises voters, because those who sell their cards lose the opportunity to vote on polling day.

The message was clear: Our vote is our power!
Let us reject corruption and protect the credibility of our elections.
Let us choose free, fair, and transparent elections for the good of Kalomo District and Zambia.

A big thank you to all our listeners who tuned in.
Let us continue educating our friends and families in our communities.

Stop poisoning our food.

Highly Hazardous Pesticides (HHPs) are still used in Zambia's food value chains—from the field to your plate.

We call on the government to:
Ban HHPs in food production
Make the pesticide register public

Safe food is a right. Not a privilege.

What makes a pesticide “highly hazardous"?

- Kills with a single drop (WHO Class Ia)
- Causes cancer or birth defects
- Poisons water for generations
- Banned internationally under the Rotterdam or Stockholm Conventions
- Zambia’s own NBSAP commits to reducing HHPs by 70% by 2035.

Let’s start by making sure we all know what they are.

What does “regional solidarity” mean to you?

To us, it means Zambia and its SADC neighbours holding each other accountable, not applauding promises while HHPs stay on shelves for ten more years.

We need to ask:
Where is the phase-out plan?
Who is tracking progress?
When will safety beat convenience?
