For more than a decade, supporters like you have helped ZACTS School in Solwezi, Zambia grow from a small school serving 60 students into a vibrant community serving more than 1,700 children and their families.

Now, a new (and urgent) chapter is opening.

Our partner in Zambia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Health to establish a health clinic right on the ZACTS school grounds, bringing essential care within easy reach for students, families, and surrounding communities.

Right now, the nearest clinic is 8 km away. That distance may not sound far, but it can mean the difference between a child receiving vaccines on time, a mother getting prenatal care, or an emergency being treated before it turns tragic. And even when families make the trip, the clinic is often stretched thin, with limited capacity and outdated equipment.

This new clinic will change that.

Designed to serve both the school and the wider community, it will support maternal health, treat everyday illnesses, respond to emergencies, and provide preventative services such as immunizations, nutrition support, and laboratory testing.



Once built, the clinic will operate through a collaborative model involving International Needs Zambia, local community leadership, and the Zambian Ministry of Health. The Ministry of Health has committed to providing qualified medical staff, covering salaries, and supplying essential medications, helping ensure the long-term sustainability of the clinic.

The remaining need is funding the construction itself. The total project cost is CAD$288,000, and thanks to generous supporters, $140,000 has already been raised.

Today, we’re inviting you to help raise the final $148,000 and bring this clinic to life.

Every gift moves us closer to a future where students, families, and community members can access quality healthcare close to home, without the long walk, the travel cost, or the delay.

This fall, the Executive Director of International Needs Zambia, Cyrus, will be visiting Canada and would be glad to meet with individuals, churches, or groups who would like to learn more about ZACTS and the clinic project.

Thank you for your continued support, prayers, and partnership.

With gratitude,

The International Needs Canada Team
