Background Members of the Trust have nearly all lived and worked in Zambia and have a keen interest in the country’s progress. The Trust was formed in 1991 by members of the Zambia Society. The society had itself been setup in 1968 to support and maintain the historic links between Britain and Zambia to foster friendship and understanding between them. The Zambia Society Trust was established in 1992 using funds accumulated by the society. Since its foundation, the Trust has worked hard to increase its income through an expanding membership, to which is distributed a regular newsletter News from Zambia - a summary compilation from the Zambian press. The Trust supports an ever-increasing number of worthy causes including
schools, hospitals, orphanages and street-kids projects. Numerous
educational scholarships, medical bursaries, school exchanges and
other projects are funded through the generosity of its members.
