Our Mission

We collaborate with communities, governments, and partners in Zambia to ensure access to inclusive quality education, promote environmental stewardship and climate resilience, improve water and sanitation facilities, combat malnutrition, and harness the transformative power of creative arts.

Our Vision

A sustainable and equitable world where every individual has access to quality education, a clean environment, safe water and sanitation, nutritious food, sustainable agriculture, and the transformative power of creative arts.

Our Story

Founded in 2019

Creative Hands Zambia (CHZ) was founded on April 10th, 2019, in Kitwe with a clear vision: to foster resilient and empowered communities through a holistic approach that integrates education, creative arts, and sustainable livelihoods.

From the outset, we believed that true community empowerment is built upon the foundation of inclusive education, sustainable livelihoods, and the creative potential that lies within every individual.

Our Growth

Since our founding, we have expanded from serving communities in Kitwe to reaching across the Copperbelt and Lusaka provinces. We've impacted over 10,000 lives and continue to grow our reach with plans to expand to Eastern, Livingstone, Muchinga, Central, and Southern provinces.

Our journey has been one of evolution, learning, and deep commitment to empowering communities in a way that is both transformative and sustainable.
