Calling All Volunteers!
Inspire Zambia supports literacy and
education in one of the world’s poorest
regions. We need VOLUNTEERS to come
with us to Zambia in August 2025, to help
us to deliver reading and teaching skills to
Zambian teachers, to develop our library
and deliver computer lessons. Are you
ready for an adventure this summer?
Why Volunteer?
Many Zambian teachers have never
had access to books and have never had
training in literacy, the teaching of reading
and writing or classroom management
skills. Most Zambian teachers have never
had access to a computer. Every year,
Inspire Zambia volunteers deliver teacher training
seminars for Zambian teachers
so that we can empower them to pass
on those skills to their students. We work
with books, laptops and other teaching
materials donated in Ireland, which we
also supply to schools in Zambia, and to our
own several libraries in Zambia. Without
our volunteers’ help, our books, laptops and
teaching materials are of limited use. With
their help, we can make the best of those
resources and establish long-term learning
opportunities for a whole generation of
Zambian children.
What to Expect?
Volunteering with Inspire Zambia allows
you to experience a new culture, while
living and working in the heart of Zambia.
When in Zambia, we live with our
neighbours in the same conditions as they
do. We live in a mud-brick or cementblock
local house with no running water,
electricity, showers, toilets, kitchen, or
furniture. We sleep in sleeping bags under
a mosquito net, and our food is cooked over
an open fire.
If you look beyond the poverty, illness and
disease which at first may appear shocking
to us, you will find a most wonderfully
warm, kind and welcoming community.
This may turn out to be one of the greatest
experiences of your life.
The volunteer trip to Zambia will take place between 7th and 25th August 2025. If you’re passionate about education, community service, cultural exchange, and making a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
