Inspire Zambia CLG

Inspire Zambia is an Irish registered charity, a company limited by guarantee, whose volunteers work to alleviate poverty in Zambia. The organisation runs a micro-finance small loan programme to help widows start small businesses, supports education programmes providing books and materials to local schools, and helps establish public libraries to spread literacy. Each year, it brings a small team of volunteers from Ireland to Zambia for several weeks to assist with these projects. The charity also offers training and funding to prepare volunteers for their roles, and it welcomes donations of money and materials. It describes Zambia as one of the world’s poorest countries, yet peaceful, politically stable and optimistic, and works with local partners to lift people out of poverty.
