"🌍 Empowering Communities in Southern Zambia

Real change is happening in Monze and Gwembe Districts!

Through a strong partnership between Zambia Land Alliance and SHARE Trust, A micro-grant of K 368,000 has been disbursed to 11 savings groups, formed, trained, and mentored by Monze District Land Alliance, reaching 165 direct beneficiaries (129 women, 41 youths, and 1 person living with disabilities) and 825 indirect beneficiaries.

These groups, based in Chief Monze, Chief Munyumbwe, and Chief Chipepo chiefdoms, will use this support to strengthen their livelihoods, build financial independence, and promote sustainable resource management.

💡 What makes this initiative truly powerful? 20% of the interest generated from this Microgrant will be reinvested into the community—supporting orphaned children, widowed women, the elderly, and other vulnerable groups.

This is more than funding—it’s communities empowering themselves and creating lasting impact.

🤝 Together, we can do more. Support, share, and be part of the change!
