They are today’s learners and tomorrow’s conservation leaders.From planting a seedling to protecting an elephant, every small action grows into big impact.Tell us: How can young people protect our environment?

THE KING STILL NEEDS PROTECTING 👑🦁This World Lion Day, 10 August 2026, we remember that protecting lions means protecting entire ecosystems.Lions are apex predators. When they thrive, it means our habitats, prey species, and communities are healthy too. But habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching continue to threaten Zambia’s lions.At Chilengedwe, we believe Growing Together means living in balance with wildlife. Protecting Zambia’s National Parks and the wildlife within them is protecting our natural heritage for future generations.Which Zambian National Park is your favourite for wildlife? Tell us below 👇
Let’s keep the King roaming wild and free.

Waste Today. Opportunity Tomorrow. ♻️📚This is what circular economy looks like in Zambia.Plastic collected → Recycled → School desks built → Learners educatedThrough our Sponsor a Cage initiative, plastic waste collected in schools is transformed into furniture that keeps learners in class and plastic out of our environment.One cage doesn’t just clean a schoolyard. It builds futures.You can help us reach another school.
