The Baptist Convention of Zambia has surveyed the needs in the area, particularly following last year's floods brought on by heavy rainfall. Many people lost their homes, and crops were destroyed with over 500 families being effected. This project will provide immediate assistance with the distribution of housing materials, food and seeds. 10 water wells will then be dug, to ensure the supply of safe drinking water. This will be followed by training workshops, both in agricultural skills and Christian development for women, men and young people.
