Green Care (Z) is a non- profit making organization registered under Act cap. 119 of the laws of Zambia in Africa with registration number ORS/102/35/4054.

 Green Care (Zambia) is a registered charity in the United Kingdom. Registration Number 1146663.

Our aim is to provide  education  through building and supporting both basic and  high community based schools,  rights sensitisation (e. g children’s right to clean water and education) , providing clean water, good sanitation, food and clothes to the less privileged and neglected rural orphaned children in Chief Singan,  in Choma, Southern province , Zambia, Africa. Green Care (Z) will train local children in skills which involve locally obtained materials e.g. timber (on selective cutting) for making furniture.

Due to lack of clean water which is used in every day  activities such as cooking and drinking, young orphaned girls and their aging grandmothers travel long distances to look for water. More than 80% of people living in Chief Singan Chiefdom find themselves effected and affected by avoidable diseases which include cholera, diarrhoea, skin diseases and many more due to lack of clean water and knowledge of how to make this water safe to use.

The provision of clean water and good sanitation ( Modern Pit latrines) will make it easy and hygienic for people taking care of those effected ( patients ) or affected ( orphans and carers) by HIV/AIDS pandemic. Both terminally ill people and recovering HIV/AIDS patients need readily available clean water.

Access to good education will prepare these orphaned children to have a chance of good future like any other child. Education will improve their lives in their homes as they will gain knowledge of how to make their surroundings clean e.g the knowledge of boiling drinking water.

Currently, school children cover a round trip of 20 kilometres to the nearest school every day.

Readily available clean water and conveniently accessed pit latrines will give these orphans and their grandmothers time to do other economic activities which will result in poverty alleviation as they will no longer spend time travelling long distances looking for water.

As a community based organization, all activities are carried out with total involvement of local people (beneficiaries). While the secretariat is headed by the executive director (secretary) who is answerable to committee members ( trustees), local activities are carried out by village committees headed by the chief. All trustees are volunteers.  All donations go straight to the intended purposes with donors monitor the use.
