Zambia

With support from the Zimbabweans, the Zambian Homeless People's Federation was first started in the resort town of Livingstone. Currently, the Zambian Federation is active in 33 cities across Zambia with a total of 356 savings groups madeup of 45,500 savers. With the support of the People's Process on Housing and Poverty, the federation has created collaborative partnerships with the Zambian government which have led to urban poor communities receiving technical support on housing and infrastructure development. Presently, the federation is currently turning its attention towards sanitation issues as it searches for viable sanitation solutions for the urban poor.
