The centre is manned by Mr. Zakaria Chikomba, a paralegal who has been carrying out community outreach programmes in the outlying areas of Garden, Marrapodi and Mandevu compounds, which the Chaisa centre is meant to service. The outreach programme was introduced after an internship which Mr. Chikomba and other LRF Zambia paralegals undertook at Legal Resources Foundation in Zimbabwe in June, 1998. The outreach programmes entail conducting awareness campaigns at market places and churches about the work of the Foundation. Since then, attendence has drastically picked up with a relatively impressive number of clients coming through. In fact, the average daily attendance of new clients has virtually doubled from three to six.
Negotiations are already underway to conduct similar programmes in schools within the compounds.
