Tikondane is a grassroots Community Centre run for and by the people of Katete in Eastern Zambia.

Tiko Lodge gives a very warm welcome to visitors and volunteers, a chance to immerse yourself in the local community and culture ... the Real Africa! Brand new website currently under construction, please check it out at https://tikondane.org

We provide primary education in the lively community school, and literacy and English lessons for parents and adults. We promote better health through HIV/Aids testing and counselling, health workshops and training, education on nutrition and smallholder farming, and a village outreach programme of home-based carers. We run income generating activities (IGAs) for staff to learn practical skills whilst developing an independent source of income for themselves and Tiko.

This weekend, kind donors in Europe helped the children of Tikondane return to school for this term. 📚 They are deeply grateful for your support!

Unfortunately, without continued assistance, they may not be able to pay their school fees next term. Would you like to support their education?

Please donate via: https://zurl.co/0RBYg 🙏

Hello, friends,

I’m writing to ask for your help. This Monday, 220 children from Tikondane will begin the new school term. Unfortunately, education is not free, and we need to raise €2,000 to cover the costs for this term.

At the moment, we don’t have enough funds, as we can barely cover the families’ basic food and living expenses. That’s why any contribution, no matter how small, can make a real difference.

As they say, many small gestures can add up to something significant. If you’re able to contribute, we would be deeply grateful. And if you’re unable to donate, sharing this message would also help us enormously.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support and solidarity.
If you wish to and can help, please send your donations to:
“Freunde von Tikondane”

🌱 TIKONDANE COMMUNITY CENTRE — Vegetable Ring Day!🌱

Our women, led by supervisor Esther, renewing the vegetable rings today. A vegetable ring is a circular garden bed built around a compost pit water and nutrients from the center spread out to every plant, so less water is wasted and greens stay fresh all year.

Growing our own vegetables means healthier food, real savings, and a stronger, more food-secure community. 💚

Elaine is a single mother of two children. She’s truly responsible, hardworking & determined to provide for her family. One of her sources of support is raising pigeons, with the help of the Tikondane community. This is more than a project—it helps her access protein-rich food for her home, and it also creates income through selling pigeons. Elaine’s story is a reminder that with dedication and community support, you can build a better future!
