In Zambia, around 64% of the population lives on less than $2.15 a day and more than a third of children under five are stunted. The 2024 drought, declared a national disaster, destroyed over 40% of the country’s maize crop and pushed 5.8 million people into crisis-level food insecurity. Now, as new investment flows into the Copperbelt and North-Western Province along the LobitoCorridor, there is a real opportunity to make sure that growth reaches the communities around it. A three-year, $500,000-a-year commitment from a single family office establishes ForAfrika in Zambia at this moment: a founding platform credible enough to draw in the institutional, commercial and mining-sector funding needed to sustain it long after your catalytic capital has done its job.
