  • Report20 Uniting to End Malaria 501(C)3
    PHOTO BY PAUL ISHII ANNUAL REPORT20 Uniting to End Malaria 501(c)3. EIN: 46-1380419 No one can foresee the duration or severity of COVID’s human and economic toll. But the malaria global health community agrees it will be disastrous to neglect or underinvest in malaria during this period, and thereby squander a decade of hard won progress. By some estimates, halting malaria intervention efforts could trigger a return to one million malaria deaths per year, a devastating mortality rate unseen since 2004. To that end many of our efforts last year were to strategically advocate for continued global malaria funding, as well as supporting COVID adjustments to ensure malaria projects were not delayed. Last year we supplied Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) to over 700 Rotary-funded community health workers (CHWs) in Uganda and Zambia; altered CHW The training to incorporate appropriate social distancing; conducted several webinars specifically focused on maintaining malaria financial support despite COVID; and we provided $50,000 to the Alliance for Malaria Prevention used for COVID/malaria public education in Africa. Jeff Pritchard Board Chair While our near-term work must accommodate pandemic restrictions, we are still firmly committed to our mission, “to generate a broad international Rotary campaign for the global elimination of malaria.” During the coming twelve months we intend to: • Implement a blueprint developed in 2020 for a large long-term Road malaria program with Rotary, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and World Vision, in the most underserved regions of Zambia’s Central and Muchinga Provinces, positively impacting nearly 1.4 million residents.

  • Immediate Media Statement Regarding KCM
    Immediate media statement regarding KCM Vedanta Resources and Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) are aware of media reports that Zambian state owned company, ZCCM-IH, has obtained an ex-parte order against KCM. ZCCM-IH owns 20.6% of KCM and has its nominees on the company’s board. Vedanta and KCM reiterate their request for an immediate and urgent meeting with his Excellency, Edgar Lungu, President of the Republic of Zambia, to discuss the matter. Vedanta is a long-standing, loyal investor in KCM and in Zambia having invested over US$3 billion since the acquisition of the asset in 2004. The company employs nearly 13,000 people at its sites and operates clinics, hospitals and schools through its corporate social responsibility programme that amounts to over US$210 million since the acquisition. KCM has contributed c.US$1.3 billion to the Zambian Exchequer in that period and continues to be the leading Pay As You Earn contributor in the country. For the year ended 31 March 2019, Vedanta provided KCM with financial support (including funding of loan repayments) of US$419 million. These significant financial and social investments combined with exponential rises in taxes, duties, fuel and power costs have placed an enormous and unaffordable burden on the company. The most recent restrictions and duty on concentrates have negatively impacted the running of the smelter and the much-needed acid to run its operations. In addition, the Zambian government owes the company more than US$180 million in VAT refunds which has made the situation even more challenging.

  • US Embassy Lusaka American Citizen Services
    U.S. Embassy Lusaka American Citizen Services Funeral and Repatriation Options In Zambia (updated Feb. 28, 2020) The death of an American citizen abroad can be a difficult and traumatic event. This brochure provides an insight to the funeral and repatriation services available in Zambia. Zambia is a Christian nation that is tolerant of all other religions. Most morgues follow Christian rites and practices with their burial preparations. In situations where one’s religion is not established at the time of death, Christian rituals would be performed for the deceased by a chaplain assigned by the morgue. Therefore, it is important for the morgue to know the religious affiliation of the deceased, or personal requests from the next of kin, at the time of admission. Maximum Period of Storage Before Burial Zambian law does not specify a period in which burial of remains must take place, regardless of embalmment. Zambia is a semi-tropical country, and it is customary that burials take place soon after death. The normally acceptable time period is three days, after which additional storage charges may accrue. Embalming Embalming facilities exist at Ambassador St. Ann Funeral Home and FSG Ltd. (Ideal Funeral Home). The standards are acceptable but vary depending on the condition of the body at the time of preparation. Facilities for holding embalmed remains are available. Caskets and Containers Caskets and containers are available locally and meet international shipping requirements. The remains are placed in a hermetically sealed zinc casket, which is then placed in a wooden crate prior to air shipment. Cremation Following cremation, the remains are placed in an urn which is enclosed in a container for return to the United States as air cargo.

  • Mufulira District Highlights
    Final Report MUFULIRA DISTRICT HIGHLIGHTS DROPPING OUT? A PARTICIPATORY EXPLORATION OF ADOLESCENT SCHOOL JOURNEYS IN ZAMBIA 1 Research Approach Commissioned by UNICEF Zambia, a primarily qualitative study was conducted to understand how decisions are made on whether or not adolescents (aged 10–19) complete their schooling in Zambia. In order to answer this, the research examined key actors and factors in journeys of school retention and dropout in Zambia. Round Robins, three-day activities with adolescents, provided an innovative and participatory means of gathering information and making adolescents actors in the research; case studies with adolescents and parents, and focus group discussions with parents and teachers, along with stakeholder key informant interviews and a small quantitative exercise in Lusaka, were also used. See Dropping Out? A Participatory Exploration of Adolescent School Journeys in Zambia – Final Report for further methodological info. This report consolidates key findings from Mufulira. These are based on fieldwork conducted in two locations and are informative rather than comprehensive.
