Good Neighbors Zambia

Established in June 2012, Good Neighbors Zambia is dedicated to improving the lives of underserved populations, particularly children, by focusing on education, health services, child protection, income-generating activities, emergency relief response, and advocacy.

The organization’s ultimate goal is to transform communities by empowering individuals socio-economically and promoting community participatory actions. We are committed to providing high-quality services that enhance children’s quality of life, address economic inequality, and strengthen community resilience through community-level cooperatives. To achieve these initiatives, Good Neighbors Zambia strives to expand its network and collaborate with diverse partners, including United Nations agencies and the government of the Republic of Zambia.

Currently, Good Neighbors Zambia operates in four community development projects: Mapepe, Mpango, Chiwena, and Shibuyunji.

Our Actions

We protect children from abuse, labor, and discrimination by raising awareness of their rights to education and health. We also strengthen community resilience by introducing income-generating projects. Good Neighbors Zambia prioritizes the following transformative actions in all our project sites:

  • Education: We enhance the quality of education for children and youths by constructing early childhood centers and secondary schools in our project sites. Since education is the foundation of all development, we strive to improve the educational environment and awareness, focusing on early childhood education centers.
  • Health: We improve access to essential health services for children and communities and ensure access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities in targeted communities and schools. This is done by constructing ventilated improved toilets and water wells or boreholes in our project sites.
  • Income Generation: We collaborate with income generation groups to identify crops suitable for their soils. We strive to increase market linkages to ensure that the harvested crops are sold at fair prices, generating adequate income for producers. We also plan to launch an enterprise whose activities are driven by social and economic impact.
  • Advocacy: We foster child-friendly environments through child rights advocacy and increase awareness of child rights at the community level. We establish child protection committees in villages and communities to create a more robust, community-led system for child protection.
