There are three key parts to the work BZT undertakes: 1) improving access to education for school going children, 2) economic empowerment and sustainable livelihoods through better farming methods and micro credit 3) raising awareness of HIV/AIDS, its prevention and how to live with it positively. In the last four years BZT, with the help of donors, has a proven track record of making a direct and real difference to 7,500 people’s lives in the Kalwa region, which is five hours’ drive north from Lusaka, near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Government and local chiefs have endorsed the programme; the tangible results have encouraged us to extend the work as the Kalwa Rainbow Development Programme over the next three years.

In areas of crisis children are often the first group in any population to lose their rights; the right to be a child. We create opportunities for children (and communities) to play and relax. Our work doesn't stop there. We know the best way for children to understand anything is to make it fun and so we ensure our performances and workshops deliver and strengthen relevant messages regarding children’s social welfare, education, health and Human Rights.
