Barrel loads of help

21st Jul 2026

Massive thanks to our English-based Board Member, Mr Chola Mwelwa for his very generoius donation of several big barrels of good quality child and baby clothes to Chitambo District.

This was through his charity, the Loveness Nakamba Mwelwa Memorial Foundation, set up in memory of his dear wife who sadly passed several few years ago.

The donation was held by Mr Mwelwa's niece, in Ndola, in the Zambian Copperbelt, until it could be collected by the Chitambo School of Nursing bus, when transporting students. It has now been delivered to Chitambo and Mr Mwelwa's niece's husband will travel to Chitambo for a small, official handover.

Mr Mwelwa is an experienced nurse based in Chesterfield, England, but he is originally from Chitambo. We are very much blessed to have the benefit of his local knowledge on our Board and are deeply grateful for the donation, which will make a very big difference.
