Zambia’s Womens Build Launch a Success!!
Habitat for Humanity Zambia has just launched its 2010 Women Build. The project will eventually raise enough funds to build houses for at least 320 orphaned and vulnerable children.
The guest of honor at the launch was Mrs. Thandiwe Banda, the First Lady of Zambia, and she was joined by the First Republican President of Zambia, Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, who is also Habitat for Humanity Zambia’s Patron. An entourage of minister’s wives also attended the launch, as well as stakeholders from the diplomatic corps, the housing sector, the financial and construction sector, members of the community and the media.
“Mothers safeguard the well-being of our society,” Dr. Kaunda said in his speech at the event. “Habitat for Humanity’s mission is to help the most vulnerable among us and fulfill a great human need, housing.”
