OUR APPROACH

HoRF is committed to complementing the government’s efforts in archiving SDGs through collaborative efforts and partnering with key stakeholders and NGOs committed to attaining a common goal.

We are working to ensure that we bring community voices into national platforms for policy change, planning, and resource allocation, as a way of building climate-resilient Zambia and offering homegrown alternative livelihood solutions.

OUR CURRENT PROJECT

In October 2021, the House of Ruth Foundation (HoRF) was contracted by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and its alliance partners which include HIVOS, South South North, Akina Mama Wa Afrika, and Slum Dwellers International as part of the Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) programme in Zambia

The five years VCA project will work with local communities in Kafue District to deliver tangible benefits to people, especially the vulnerable. This includes youths, women, and persons living with disabilities. The project will bring community voices into national platforms for policy change, planning, and resource allocation, as a way of building climate-resilient Zambia and offering homegrown alternative livelihood solutions.
