Oxfam has joined government efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic in Zambia through a donation of 1 Million Kwacha to support risk communication and public health promotion.
Oxfam has contributed 80 Megaphones, 50 pedal-operated handwashing buckets and 135 dignity kits, production of IEC materials and airtime on radio stations across the country.
The Megaphones will support public health promotion in communities while the handwashing buckets will be distributed to schools on the Copperbelt, Central and Lusaka Provinces.
Further, to lessen the care burden and ensure safeguarding, the dignity kits will go to female patients in isolation and treatment facilities.
Speaking when receiving the donations, the Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary – Administration Ms Kakulubelwa Mulalelo commended Oxfam for its efforts in partnering with government to fight the spread of the coronavirus in Zambia.
She said the ministry will ensure that the donated items reach the intended beneficiaries.
Oxfam in Zambia Country Director Dailes Judge said, “Today we are pleased to complement government efforts in fighting the coronavirus by contributing 80 megaphones, 135 dignity kits and 50 pedal handwashing basins and K60,000 worth of radio airtime. This is in addition to printing IEC materials and public health promotion messaging on community radio stations across the country. All the efforts are worth 1 Million Kwacha.”
Ms Judge said that at the global level Oxfam is working with multilateral institutions to restructure debt and develop significant stimulus packages that ensure that governments including Zambia do not contract more debt as a result of the pandemic.
Oxfam in Zambia works with smallholder farmers, resource governance and accountability, women’s rights and humanitarian interventions.

Dear Mr. Hakainde Hichilema,
Sir I hope you find strength in every breath you take during this episode of your life. I am a human being and my humanity is tempted to feel sorry for you. I would have loved to visit you even for a minute and shake hands with you once again but that may not be possible for me to do right now. Sir, if ever you get to read this letter please read it not with your mind but with your heart because this is not a product of my intellect but of my heart. Mr. Hakainde sir, please cherish this period of your life as everything you have dared to stand for is being put to test. I do not feel sorry for you at all but i admire you sir. You are lucky and blessed.
Sir, think about the tallest building, before the last…
