Our Work in Rural Zambia
Explore historical programme themes spanning water, sanitation, education, health and sustainable livelihoods.
Kaloko’s historic programmes used an integrated approach to poverty reduction, shaped by community priorities and local partnerships.
Water, sanitation and health
Work included boreholes, community water committees, pump-maintenance training, sanitation facilities and health education. The aim was not simply to build infrastructure but to support reliable, hygienic use over time.

Education and young people
Historical activities supported classrooms, furniture, learning materials, teacher accommodation and peer education. Safe water and sanitation at school were treated as essential to health, dignity and attendance.
Sustainable livelihoods
Farming, beekeeping, livestock and enterprise activities sought to strengthen food security and reduce vulnerability. Training and locally appropriate techniques were central to this work.
