The Garden House Green Space was today a hive of activity as it hosted a post-commemoration of World Environment Day, organized by the Zambia Homeless and Poor People’s Federation together with People’s Process on Housing and Poverty in Zambia.

The event brought community members together to clean, learn, and transform waste into valuable resources. Federation members conducted a market clean-up before participating in hands-on demonstrations on composting, manure production, and black soldier fly farming.

The activities served as a powerful reminder that a clean, healthy, and sustainable future starts with each one of us.

Through the REDAA project, PPHPZ and the Federation collected data on ecosystem degradation in informal settlements in Chongwe, Lusaka, and Kitwe. The findings revealed both alarming realities and well-known drivers of ecosystem degradation within these communities.

A key insight was that inadequate access to basic services drives environmental degradation, as communities often resort to survival strategies and livelihoods that place additional pressure on ecosystems. For example, the absence of sewer networks and adequate sanitation systems increases the risk of groundwater contamination.

However, many interventions continue to address these challenges primarily through an ecological lens, overlooking the underlying socio-economic factors that contribute to environmental degradation. The evidence clearly shows that slum upgrading and the provision of essential infrastructure in informal settlements are fundamental to achieving sustainable ecosystem restoration.

These insights emerged through the What Works Forums, where community members and stakeholders jointly examined the findings to develop a deeper understanding of the drivers of degradation and identify practical opportunities for addressing them. Through these discussions, it became evident that lasting environmental restoration cannot be achieved without simultaneously addressing the social and economic realities faced by residents of informal settlements.

Empowering Young Storytellers and Changemakers in Kafue

Today marked the official opening of the Community Storytelling and Digital Media Training under the Impact Innovation Initiative Project, bringing together young people to learn how to document and amplify the stories that matter most in their communities.

Speaking during the opening session, PPHPZ Country Coordinator Nelson Ncube emphasized the organization's commitment to youth empowerment, stating that young people are not leaders of tomorrow, but leaders of today.He encouraged participants, particularly young women, to take a keen interest in storytelling and community advocacy, noting that many young girls remain vulnerable in underserved communities and that their voices must be heard.

Mr. Ncube challenged participants to use technology positively, highlighting the opportunities presented by Artificial Intelligence (AI), social media, and digital platforms. He urged the youth to become agents of change by documenting community issues, amplifying untold stories, and using their phones as powerful tools for networking, learning, and creating opportunities.

"Let us not bury what is happening in our communities. Let's tell our stories, raise awareness, and inspire action," he said, while expressing his expectation of seeing impactful and compelling stories emerge from Kafue.

The training objectives were presented by Shikanda Kawanga who outlined the programme's goal of equipping participants with practical skills in:
Photography, Videography, Video Editing, AI-Assisted Content Creation, Community Storytelling and Documentation, Communication and Advocacy Techniques

The training seeks to empower young people to effectively document community challenges, lessons learned, and stories of transformation while becoming active contributors to local development and social change.

Halfway through the year, we celebrate the progress made, but we remain focused on the work ahead. Every house built, every livelihood supported, and every community empowered brings us one step closer to a future free from homelessness and extreme poverty

Today our staff, together with members of the Zambia Homeless and Poor People’s Federation, took part in a Protection against Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH) & Safeguarding Training.
This workshop is part of our ongoing capacity building efforts, guided by the PSEAH Policy, to strengthen PPHPZ and Federation activities. It’s about more than just training, it’s about protecting the communities we serve, safeguarding trust, and ensuring dignity always comes first.
Safeguarding is a shared responsibility. When staff and volunteers commit together, we create safer spaces and stronger communities.
As an organisation we have zero tolerance for sexual exploitation, abuse, or harassment in any form. The safety and dignity of the people we work with will always take precedence over programme targets.
Together, we rise. Together, we protect.
