Seems pretty good...

My sister has been living in Lusaka for the last 2 years or so and she likes it. She's from Canada but has lived in southern Sudan for a year and Kampala, Uganda for quite some time as well so she knows better what to expect. Physically, Lusaka isn't much different from any other African city and has the same problems as every other city in the world (traffic, pollution, crime, corruption, unemployment, etc) but to different degrees. Apart from the museum (which is underrated), there really isn't much of interest in Lusaka.

Hello Angela!

I wounder if you can help me. I´ve met a person. His name is Donwell. I wounder if you can mail me soon and try to help me. I´m from sweden.

Thank you!

I am very much interested in information pertaining to Lusaka. Since early January 1990, I have corresponded with hundreds of refugees exiled mainly in Lusaka (in contact with others living in other "host" countries in Africa). Our progam began in 1979 and has been ongoing since 1985 helping refugees from 27 countries. Also involved with an organization helping orphan street kids in Lusaka.

I lived in Lusaka for 6 months. Not as bad a place as is sometimes assumed. It can seem intimidating but in reality it is no worse than any other city. There are a good range of shops at "manda hill" if you feel the need for western products. Libraries, bars and clubs, Barclays bank, plenty of markets and street venders. If anyone wants more info let me know.

Street kids are definitely a problem.
Could you let me know what organisation is helping the street kids? It would be nice to know what could be done to help them.
Thanks

Hi, I am Marta from Hungary planning to go to Zambia in May for 6 months to help children there. I am a teacher with teaching experience and would like to work with kids in remote Zambia. If you could give me some info or any organisation addresses where I could help, please contact me. Thanks a lot. Marta

Please contact me for information in detail. I initiated a project in 1997 operated by unpaid people assisting orphan kids in their street environment.
