Gender Issues Volunteering in Zambia

Girls are a powerful force for change in Africa, so investing in adolescent girls is essential to reducing poverty, improving health, and encouraging future economic growth. The Girl Impact initiative of African Impact aims to provide opportunities for adolescent girls in Zambia through education, health, safety, early pregnancy, making a living, and self-confidence. Still, the organization needs enthusiastic volunteers to make this a reality. Volunteers have the opportunity to work in maternal health with a focus on puberty. Volunteers will work within schools and be part of a program that sees direct, measurable results.

Volunteers on the Community Development project in Zambia work across a range of different activities with the common goal of supporting the development of local communities in Livingstone. Volunteer work focuses on construction and renovation, agriculture, and providing various forms of assistance to vulnerable children and adults, including the disabled and a support group for women and children with HIV/AIDS. Volunteers may also help with income-generating projects to help these vulnerable communities provide for themselves, such as the production of crafts and food products to be sold at local markets.
