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.

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.
