Welcome to Project COPE Zambia.
Our goal is to eliminate rural poverty in one generation without going through the carbon economy.
Gardening Sustainably Can Improve Lives and the Economy
We sent one of our COPE Members to South Africa last year to learn about new ways of sustainable gardening. We are now trying to find funding to get the information into the hands of our Cooperative in Chilupula. Wonder how it’s done? Check out Auldridge’s report Here
And It Looks Like We Can Reach It!
The results of the First Year of the Tractor Project are in! Read the entire report Here. It shows that we are on track to completely pay off the loan in 3 years, at which time the farmer’s income will be nearly $10,000 USD in an area where rural incomes are under $1000! See the spreadsheet Here.
COPE
COPE is about people working with people to build sustainable local economies that do not depend on charity, government or NGO’s. Unless local people can sustainably develop their own lives, it is not likely anyone else will do if for them. Look at what Zambians working with Zambians can accomplish.
Check out our links above, which include videos and slide shows, or examine our projects elements below.
We have an array of projects, including
Agricultural Improvements, especially the 2 wheel Tractor
