On a quest to ending poverty

Whilst domiciled in the United Kingdom, we work in Africa, particularly Zambia, to assist rural residents achieve their full potential by providing them with the necessary tools to live poverty-free.

We’re on a quest to ending poverty in a sustainable way by increasing rural economic activity through the enhancement of agricultural productivity that enables rural residents to earn incomes that have a lasting impact and improvement to their livelihood.

Around 56.5% of Zambia’s population lives in a rural area with little access to basic needs and tools to thrive in their environment.
