UK NGO Grants $10 Million for Early Childhood Development in Zambia

A United Kingdom-based nongovernmental organization has given Zambia a 10-million U.S. dollars grant for an early childhood development program in Lusaka and Chongwe District.

Speaking during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in Lusaka today, Local Government and Rural Development Minister Gary Nkombo said the MoU is a pivotal step towards building a brighter future for Zambia’s children.

Mr. Nkombo said the agreement also reflects the government’s collective commitment to ensuring that every child is given an opportunity to thrive regardless of their background.

Eddy Kalisa, a representative of Big Win Philanthropy who joined the meeting via Zoom, said early childhood development is essential for any country’s development.

Meanwhile, Education Minister Douglas Syakalima said the grant will provide necessary support and resources to ensure young learners receive the highest quality of education to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Speaking at the same event, Lusaka Province Minister Sheal Mulyata said the initiative to promote and improve early childhood education aligns with the Transformative Agenda 2030.

Ms. Mulyata said this in a speech read on her behalf by Lusaka Province Acting Permanent Secretary Alex Mapushi.

  1. Dirty and destitute kids plus this particular Muzungu foreign aid = the deferred dream of developing Zambia.

  2. 6 milllion on wages 3 million on admin expenses
    and 1 million to the children
    Well that is the norm todate

    • Your generous i think only 100k will get to the kids, most big NGOs like Oxfam, WWF and others work om 5% so 1% is about right for a small NGO is about right.

  3. Devastating how I almost lost my life savings with a scam broker. I made $175,500 including my net depositing and profit, then they denied my withdrawal accusing me of using arbitrage. They tried to hold my money for a long time which I found to be highly questionable and unfair. I did my research and reports and I came across a triangulation expert (Bernie Doran) . They are best in dealing with online scam and assisting victims in receiving reimbursement, tracking down digital fingerprints, cyber analysis and thorough investigation. He can be contact via Berniedoransignals @ gmail. com

  4. $10 million was change for lungu and his gang……….

    That is the tragedy of Africa…….

  5. last time I checked, they is no such thing as free lunch. so what is it in for them ” The UK NGO”.
    Africa will never be financial independent as long as we depend of them to come and rescue us in everything and slavery can no longer be an excuse of being under developed.

  6. How much longer will slavery and colonialism going to be used as excuses for our non-development? When are we going to take responsibility?
