African Revival in South Africa

In partnership with Brighter Futures, a UK registered charity; we have supported the U Bumbano Pre Primary School, a crèche for over 85 children in the Port Elizabeth area of South Africa. We have provided a series of necessary and needed equipment such as new lockers, security gates, doors and windows.

African Revival in Zambia

African Revival have just started their work in Zambia, one of Africa's poorest countries and also a country badly effected by the HIV pandemic.

African Revival's founder has purchased a farm in the Southern Province of Zambia and given African Revival an opportunity to work the farm on a commercial basis, with a view to generating a profit. As well as employing several hundred local people, all of the profits will stay within African Revival Zambia and will be used to support development work in the surrounding region.

This project fits perfectly with African Revival's core aims of 'helping people to help themselves' and also of developing self sustaining projects.

Richard Bailey, previously African Revival's Director, has moved to Maziba Farm, Zambia, for the next 10 months, to put the project on a sound footing, he writes:

'I am geniunely excited to be involved in this project. We are already benefitting a large number of local people through employment. I also believe that this farm will be a real model in the future, challenging existing labour relations in Zambia, where labout is generally extremely poorly paid. In addition, the profits that we make will be put back into the community, into education, health care and small business development. We believe that this will allow Zambians to 'help themselves' and break out of the cycle of poverty.’
