About Kaloko Trust
About the organisation, its history and the continuation of programme relationships in Zambia.
Kaloko Trust UK supported community-led development in the Luansobe and Kashitu areas of Zambia for around 30 years.
A community-led approach
The organisation’s work connected access to water, health, education, natural resources and livelihoods. Rather than treating these as separate problems, programmes sought practical solutions with community participation, local training and links to Zambian public services.
Why preserve the archive?
Long-running community programmes hold useful lessons: maintenance matters as much as installation; local knowledge improves design; and sustainable change requires clear responsibilities after funding ends. Preserving these accounts makes those lessons easier to find and compare with current practice.
