Anglo-American today launched a collaboration with the global humanitarian organization, World Vision, to help improve access to education for 160 high school-aged girls in the Lyovu-Kasesi rural district in Zambia’s North-Western Province, located near an area where Anglo-American is conducting mineral exploration activities.
The partnership project, funded by Anglo American, aims to upgrade boarding facilities at the state-owned Lyovu Secondary School in order to increase access to quality secondary education for vulnerable girls. This support aligns with the Zambian government’s efforts to promote access to quality education for girls, particularly in the Zambezi district, which has 82 primary schools compared with 14 secondary schools, making it difficult for most learners to transition to senior education.

It takes Zambia
A girl child who is protected, loved and cared for, grows up to be a woman who can build a strong community and nation.
COVID-19 is putting 85 million more children at risk of violence.
Isolated in unsafe homes, sent to work or pushed into early marriage, millions of boys and girls could be facing physical, emotional and sexual abuse as result of the pandemic.
Many children are already suffering and helplines are being overwhelmed with calls.
The effects on these children will last a lifetime. We must prevent this devastating legacy.
Please help us to convince governments and UN agencies to act.
Please call on governments and institutions to urgently increase funding for health, education and other social services that protect children from all forms of violence and abuse, especially for girls and boys at greater risk due to the impacts of COVID-19.
