As a small charity, trustee oversight matters. The team helps make sure support is carefully directed, relationships are maintained well, and decisions stay aligned with the charity’s purpose.
Partners
Our local partners play a vital role in helping support reach the schools and communities we serve. Their local knowledge, commitment, and day-to-day involvement make practical projects possible.
Timothy Malama is our main partner at Good Samaritan Ministries School in Lusaka. He continues the work started by his parents, Bishop Alick and Selina Malama, who created the school to support children who were too poor to attend state school. We remain in regular contact with Timothy, and he plays a key role in helping the school continue to grow and serve its community.
Charles Dinda helps oversee our projects in the Monze area through the Zambia Women and Girls Foundation (ZaWGF), a registered non-government organisation based in Monze, Zambia. His background in education, advocacy, and community leadership has helped support practical improvements, including classroom refurbishment and teacher housing.
