BZT has a holistic, community- based approach, working in partnership with Hodi, its partner Zambian-run NGO, so that the changes made are owned and contributed to by those involved. 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. Please visit our website at www.bzt.org.uk for real results for rural people and we hope you will join us on our Rainbow Journey.
