In our community in Zambia, we face a daily struggle that often goes unnoticed—malnutrition and poor diet are silently harming the health of our families. Many of our women work tirelessly to provide food for their children, but too often, the meals they can afford are lacking in essential nutrients. This leads to rising cases of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other preventable illnesses.
We believe that knowledge is power—and we want to empower the women in our community with the tools to improve their families' health.
That’s why we are raising money to bring a qualified nutritionist to work directly with the women in our community. This expert will not only give talks and workshops on healthy eating but will also sit down with families to create personalized diet plans, especially for those living with diabetes, high blood pressure, and other diet-related illnesses.
Why This Matters:
Diabetes and high blood pressure are becoming increasingly common in our community, often going untreated until it’s too late.
Malnutrition, especially among children and mothers, weakens the body’s ability to fight disease and prevents children from growing and learning to their full potential.
Access to health information is limited, and many families simply don’t know what small, affordable changes can make a big difference to their health.
What We Hope to Achieve:
Interactive Nutrition Talks: Teaching women the importance of a balanced diet using locally available foods.
Tailored Meal Plans: Helping those with conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure to manage their health through better eating.
How You Can Help:
We need your support to raise £3,000 to:
Hire qualified nutritionists to visit our community.
Provide special healthy refreshments and samples during workshops so that families can taste nutritious options and learn how to make affordable, balanced meals using local ingredients.
Purchase locally available foods for live cooking demonstrations, showing how simple, low-cost ingredients can create healthier meals.
Together, we can break the cycle of poor health and give our community the tools to thrive.
Please consider donating today—every contribution, no matter how small, will help bring health, knowledge, and hope to families in Zambia.
