Our History

  • Teacher Aid first began following a holiday in Zambia, 2002. I visited a school outside Lusaka and promised to help. I registered “Teacher Aid” as pupils needed teacher continuity, funds to pay teacher salaries and a feeding scheme. We funded a school near Chipata in 2013. We stayed at Nsobe and met Fiona, who had started her own school.

Areas of Operation

  • Zambia

Beneficiaries

  • Children / Young People

    Respect shown to all females by male pupils of Nsobe community. We encourage girls to be in control of their bodies and encourage sex abstinence. The culture at present is for the older girls not to discuss private matters with freinds or family.

  • The General Public / Mankind

    Families of the pupils at Nsobe School being uplifted out of poverty through a quality education and life skills. Teacher Aid provides solar panels, laptops, English lessons, audio visual equipment and has funded the building of the first Safe house

Our Vision for a better future

  • To be the backbone of Nsobe until it is taken over by the Government, then we would assist the in the running costs of the Tertiary college yet to be built. We hope to introduce a bursary scheme like Student Loans. Into the long-term future Teacher Aid, along with Fiona, would like to expand into other rural areas of Zambia to uplift communities.
