Meet the Team

Dr Shimwaayi Muntemba, an inspiring Zambian woman, founded ZOA in response to the AIDS crisis that decimated the country.

We partner with grassroots community groups in some of the most deprived communities to find sustainable solutions that move children and youths out of poverty. Our independent sister charity in Lusaka, ZOA-Zambia, lead on strategic programme development and management, monitoring and evaluation.

We are led by a Board of Trustees, including British Zambians, and have a very small team of part-time, home-based staff in the UK. This structure keeps our over-heads low allowing for more of your donations to be spent on orphans and vulnerable children in Zambia.

ZOA-Zambia

Our Partners

ZOA-UK
