## **CARE FOR ZAMBIA – TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDING 31 JANUARY 2025** Care for Zambia is the main provider of funds for the Mutende Project, Chingola, Copperbelt, Zambia. Care for Zambia works in partnership with the trustees of the Zambian Charity “Mutende Children’s Village”. The project runs a children’s village and a primary school in Lulamba, Copperbelt Zambia At the end of the year there were 40 children in the village and over 400 children in the primary school. There are now 6 boys in one youth house and 6 girls in the second youth house. During term time some of these are staying away at college and university. ## **Some of the achievements this year.** During this year, Colin and Cara Medus of The Bridge Trust Ltd Charity became more involved and took over the co-ordinating of the project visiting and working with The Zambian Charit. Discussions began with The Bridge Trust to combine the two charities and agreement was made by the trustees to continue to work towards this conclusion. The two charities arise from the same origin and people involved in both charities are doing work in Zambia, although Bridge is involved in similar support activities in India. During this July 2024 trip the expansion of the primary school continued and finds were agreed. The primary school places are supported by sponsors from the UK. A part of the agreement with The Bridge Trust, funds for Mutende were paid across via The Bridge Trust. Trustees of the Care for Zambia Trust are now trustees of The Bridge Trust and the sponsors of Mutende were encouraged to transfer their standing orders to The Bridge trust directly. Colin and Cara Medus visited Mutende Children’s Village in February and July of 2024 taking out a groupd of trustees and volunteers wih them A total of 12 staff are employed locally in Mutende Children’s Village, 4 males and 8 females. The primary school is growing in stature and providing excellent national test results for its pupils. One of the main challenges for The Mutende Project is the lack of electricity. The nation is suffering from severe shortage of power and it was agreed during the year to start the process of installing solar power and batteries into the children’s village.
