Tuchafwane

The local population wished to have its own structure. Tuchafwane (signifying "we work together") Advisory Co-operative Society is our partner/sister non-profit association (ASBL) in Zambia. Mrs. Hellen Makwangula, first four-year President, founded the association to enable different communities to participate more actively in the management and coordination of their development projects.

The Tuchafwane Committee is composed of a representative from each of the 20 partner villages. At present, their General Coordinator is Mr. Watson Chabalenje.
