SSHJM IDP stands with the rest of the world in commemorating World Water Week under the theme: Water for People and Progress.

As an organisation that promotes the dignity of humans and communities, this week reminds us of the importance of water as not just a basic need but rather as a right that should be accorded to all people.

This week also call for us to not look at water as a thing to be taken for granted but rather a commodity that needs to be protected amidst Climate Change and environmental degradation caused by human activities.

It is why, as IDP Zambia 🇿🇲 we promote safe and clean water for our learners at Chele and Victor Braun well as communities under livelihood programme, through the sensitisation on WASH programme and installation of water taps across schools.

This week as an organization we call upon us the global community to take water as a right for all humans, especially marginalised groups whose access to water is limited to streams and dams.

Protect the WATER. Secure the FUTURE.

Today we join the rest of the nation in commemorating Farmers Day which falls on the 3rd of August.

This day reminds us of the vital role that farmers play in providing food security and jobs across our country.

We are awake to the fact that agriculture contributes to 19% of Zambia's GDP and employs 75% of the population.

It's why SSHJM-IDP with support from Misean Cara has supported a total of 473 small household farmers with climate smart agriculture trainings and empowerments. This has resulted to 2,028 beneficiaries with diversified livelihoods.

To us these are not mere statistics but rather represent a life that has been changed through our impact led interventions of sustainable livelihood initiatives.

To our hardworking farmers 👨‍🌾 👩‍🌾 we say thank you 😊.

This fundraising showcased the importance of unity of purpose in promoting inclusive education especially for children with disabilities who are often deprived of their right to education 📚.

A Story of Hope for Disability thought to be Volatile

When Dalisoul, a child with autism, joined Victor Braun Special Needs School 🏫, he couldn’t interact with other children.

“He would not interact with his friends at the children at school which made it difficult for us to integrate him in our learning sessions" said Ms Luundu a teacher at Victor Braun Special

Today, thanks to the school’s dedicated teachers, Dalisoul has made beautiful progress in toileting 🚻, feeding, social skills, and focus.

Through colouring 🎨, visualization, sensory technique and gentle guidance, he’s now completing tasks that once seemed impossible.

From small steps 🐾 to big impact, Victor Braun School is changing how we see disability in the len 🥽 of unique potential and not limitation.

Together, we’re building a more inclusive world 💙 by changing the conversation on disability.

Mpulungu Boarding Sn**ch the Trophy 🏆 to emerge as victor in Debate Competition

In the turn of event in battle of ideas 💡 and analytical perspective of the major causes of child marriages, learners at Mpulungu Boarding and Musende School went logger heads in the great battle of minds debate competition.

The debate that was hosted by Musende School saw debaters go all out to prove to their compatriots🪖, judges 👩‍⚖️, sceptics 🤔 cheerleaders 🩰 and most vividly their opponents 😡, that their argument was not only the best but rather the most viable.

The debate spectators 👓 not only witnessed the power of learners ability to stand in the court of law 📖 but rather their capabilities to research and present evidence to support their argument 😉.

From Dora Siliya's best selling book Minding My Father's Country to the Child Code Act, the debate was lite 🔥 with evidence based argument that made the judges and the moderator run 🏃‍♂️ for their money 💰.

As fate would have it 😌, Mpulungu Boarding School emerged victorious with a narrow score margin against Musende School 🏫.

These debates have proven that when adolescents are given a voice to speak 📣 on global matters like child marriages, they do not just speak but they set the tone 🔔, as trend setters by amplifying on what advocacy is, that is providing a voice to the voiceless.

SSHJM-IDP Hosts Community Dialogue on WASH Initiatives.

SSHJM-IDP has successfully rolled out a comprehensive WASH program in Mpulungu and Mbala, aimed at enhancing sanitation and hygiene practices among local communities.

The program drew a considerable turnout of community members, who benefited from educational discussions on vital hygiene practices such as handwashing after toilet use 🚻, a habit that has seen significant neglect, thereby increasing vulnerability to waterborne diseases like cholera.

The Livelihood Department took the lead in demonstrating to the community the simple yet effective method of constructing tip taps for handwashing. Moreover, the organization printed and distributed 350 IEC materials adorned with pictorial messages to facilitate better comprehension of WASH discussions among participants.

By undertaking this initiative, SSHJM-IDP reaffirms its commitment to fostering a safe and healthy environment, aligning with both the 'Keep Zambia Clean' national agenda and SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation, ultimately contributing to disease prevention through improved access to clean water and sanitation.

❤️ Every Child Deserves the Chance to Learn, Grow, and Shine❤️

At Victor Braun Sheltered Skills Training Centre, a hairdressing lesson is about so much more than styling hair; it's about building confidence, independence, and hope.

💇🏽‍♀️ Through this practical life skill, our learners with disabilities are:
✨ Learning personal hygiene and self-care.
✨ Developing social and communication skills.
✨ Building confidence and independence.
✨ Enjoying a therapeutic activity that supports their overall wellbeing.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Madam Jane Mwaba, a trained Agriculture Teacher whose passion and dedication have inspired her to share her hairdressing skills with our learners. Her commitment is helping transform lives, one lesson at a time.

At Victor Braun, we believe in nurturing abilities, not limitations, and creating opportunities for every child to reach their full potential.

💙 Together, we are empowering children to learn, grow, and shine.

International Day of Deafblindness 👌

“I used to hide my son because of shame… but today I cry tears of joy.” the words of Annie a single mother living with a 6-year-old son called George who has deafblindness and physical disabilities.

For years, fear of stigma made Annie lock her son George indoors, away from the world.

But everything changed when George was enrolled at Victor Braun Inclusive School.

Through physiotherapy, tactile communication, and dedicated support, George is now smiling, learning to count, signalling his needs, and gaining strength to stand. He lights up when he recognises familiar scents and sounds.

From isolation to hope, George is a living testimony that disability is not inability.

On this special day, we celebrate every deafblind child and their families. Let us break the stigma, promote inclusion, and ensure no child is hidden or left behind.

Together, we can create a more inclusive world.
Support inclusive education. Show love to families living with children like George.
