What We Do
We are the humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Zambia, proudly affiliated with ADRA International—a global network operating in more than 130 countries. As part of this global family of over 20 million Adventists, we benefit from the church’s unparalleled reach and resources, including the world’s largest integrated healthcare and education network. This partnership enables us to address both immediate humanitarian needs and long-term development challenges effectively.
In Zambia, we are committed to delivering relief and development assistance to individuals and communities, regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, or religious beliefs. Our programs focus on key areas such as food security, health, education, disaster response, and economic empowerment, working tirelessly to uplift the most vulnerable populations and foster hope where it is needed most.
Through our collaboration with ADRA International, we bring global expertise and resources to address local challenges while ensuring that our programs are culturally relevant and community-driven. By partnering with local communities, organizations, and government agencies, we implement impactful initiatives that not only meet immediate needs but also build the capacity of Zambians to create sustainable, long-term solutions. Together, we are dedicated to making a lasting difference, transforming lives, and helping communities thrive.
Where we work
Our work touches thousands of lives in more than 20 districts all over the country. Our on-the-ground approach allows immediate assistance in times of crisis and true partnership with the communities we serve.
