Zambia celebrates its 60th Anniversary of Independence on October 24th 2024
Zambia will celebrate its 60th anniversary of independence on October 24, 2024, with the theme "One Zambia, One Nation". The celebrations will honour the legacy of Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, who is a key figure in Zambia's independence and achievements. In Lusaka the capital of Zambia celebrations of Independence Day include parades, music and dancing that will take place over two days.
The Zambia Society was founded in 1968 to encourage and strengthen ties between Britain and Zambia. In 1991 the Society launched The Zambia Society Trust in response to increasing poverty in Zambia and the devastating effects of the HIV epidemic. In 2006 the Society and Trust were amalgamated as The Zambia Society Trust.
Almost every penny raised in donations is directly used to improve the lives of disadvantaged Zambians through our various projects. A large portion of our funding also comes from subscriptions paid by members, who are kept regularly updated on how their money is spent.
Our projects include support and funding for schools and medical facilities, grants for disadvantaged students to pursue higher education, mobility aids for disabled children, bursaries for health workers wishing to improve their skills, and footballs and netballs for schoolchildren to encourage exercise and help young Zambians experience the joy of sport.
