Thanks to the German Embassy Small Scale Fund, the Chakwela Makumbi School has now access to water through an amazing system of solar panels.

Even this year in Mukwamba Village the race is female! It is for mothers, daughters and grandmothers. And at times even great-grandmothers, like the three over 80 who closed the arrivals at the top of the very steep final up-hill that ends at the gate of the school.

So, what a better way to celebrate than arranging a super cross-country race engaging more than 300 all-aged kids from 7 different schools in the nearby of Lusaka and Kafue?! Continue reading
‘I have really enjoyed!’ told me Ruth, a slim athlete of 46 years, already a grandmother, already a mother but never an athlete before than today.
More than 300 women at a sport event in Zambia, moreover in the bush, were never before seen. Three categories: Under 12, Under 30 and Over 30. Many known faces like Dorothy Shawa and Ruth Kapempe, champions in many Never Give Up and now too young mothers, maybe spurred on by the exceptional Esther Mweswa a fantastic second in the under 30 after giving birth in the last few months.
