ZST Education Grants Programme
The Trust continues its programme of supporting Zambian students in their final years at university or college. We believe we are among the largest international supporters of tertiary education in Zambia, having assisted over 300 students in the past 10 years at a cost of more than £200,000. The courses studied by our beneficiaries range widely - from purely academic disciplines to practical, vocational fields.
During 2025 we supported 77 students - 49 young women and 28 young men - studying subjects including health and medicine, engineering, sciences, teaching, environmental studies, agriculture, and business administration.
Just two messages of appreciation!
‘’Dear Zambia Society Trust,
As a proud alumnus of Chilonga School of Nursing and Midwifery in Mpika, Muchinga Province, and a recipient of your sponsorship, I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude as I express my heartfelt thanks for your life-changing support!
Your generosity gave me a new lease on life, and I will be forever grateful. Your support came at a time when my dreams seemed impossible, but you turned the tide and made it possible for me to become a Registered Nurse!
I am still excited after my graduation, and I could not have achieved this milestone without your kindness. Passing the Nursing Midwifery Council of Zambia exams during June–July was a testament to your investment in my future.
I am humbled to have had the opportunity to pursue my passion, and I am proud to be a role model for girls everywhere. Thank you for believing in me and empowering me to achieve my dreams. Your kindness has not only transformed my life but will also impact the lives of countless individuals I will serve as a nurse.
With deepest gratitude and appreciation’'
