Zambia
World Renew has been working in Zambia since 1990, coming alongside some of the country’s most vulnerable communities, supporting them with local initiatives in community health, agriculture, livelihoods training, and drought response.
WHAT WE DO
While Zambia is a beautiful country—home to the largest waterfall in the world, beautiful lakes, and amazing wildlife—it is also struggling under the burden of poverty. More than 61% percent of Zambians live below the poverty line, and three-quarters of the country’s poor live in rural areas. High unemployment, frequent drought, and the epidemic of HIV and AIDS are significant barriers to prosperity. World Renew programs support the long-term development of the most impoverished communities. A large focus of our work is improving the agricultural skills and health outcomes of families struggling to grow enough food and to find basic access to health care.

RENEWING HOPE: CHANGING STORIES OF POVERTY
“Our lives are very different; we no longer have to stress [to pay] for school fees or even to sell animals. Our fields are more productive, and we all go to sleep every night with food in our stomachs. We are richly blessed.”
– Sandress Nyirenda, farmer and father
