Our report

Take Action Africa

Teacher Aid as a charity, apart from providing general financial support, also provides food for feeding the children of Nsobe Community Schools. At the moment there are 650 pupils. The school is situated in the bush of Masaiti province in the Copperbelt region of Zambia. We are taking action to further support the school because there has been a drought throughout Zambia as well as in the surrounding countries. Food prices are escalating to a level that becomes unaffordable not only for the school but for the surrounding communities.

The drought also compounds other problems in the region, highlighting the true scale of need. Zambia, for example, just came from battling the worst cholera outbreak in decades, with more than 22,000 recorded cases and 719 deaths at the time of publishing. As the availability of safe water becomes scarcer, individuals across the region may begin turning to contaminated water sources, increasing the risk of transmitting diarrhoeal and vector-borne diseases. In addition, current dry conditions have the potential to drastically alter the lives of women and girls across southern Africa. Often tasked with walking far distances to seek out clean water for their families, women and girls are at greater risk of experiencing gender-based violence while on these long journeys. Girls, in particular, may be taken out of school to help their families access food and water, losing valuable educational opportunities. This includes the boys as well the girls coming to the school that have to walk a long way, some from as far away as 14 kilometres. Our usual Gower Yomp this year is dedicated to rising funds to supplement the cost of the food so the 650 the children of the Nsobe Community School will not go hungry because of the rising cost of food due to drought.
