Volunteer Doctors Needed in Zambia

CMMB has been working in Zambia since 1965. CMMB Zambia works with provincial and district health offices of the Ministry of Health in all 10 provinces and enjoys a close relationship with the Zambian Episcopal Conference and the Churches Health Association of Zambia, the umbrella organization of Zambia’s faith-based healthcare institutions.

Program area’s include:

• Child protection, including support for orphans and vulnerable children
• Domestic and international volunteers
• Gender-based violence prevention
• HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment, including prevention of mother-to-child transmission
• Neonatal asphyxia
• Prevention and control of malaria

In rural areas, where government services may be sparse, CMMB Zambia partners with traditional leadership, from paramount chiefs to village headmen. These individuals play a critical role in defining community norms, and are often revered members of local governance structures. Collaboration and cooperation are critical to project effectiveness and sustainability.

With support from USAID, CMMB works as a subpartner to Luapula Foundation, a local NGO, to strengthen district and community structures aimed at improving services for orphans and vulnerable children. Working in Copperbelt, Southern, Luapula, Central, and Lusaka provinces, CMMB Zambia works to mobilize and link communities to existing support structures and builds technical capacity.

CMMB is also implementing The Kusamala Project, a child protection project intended to reverse family, community, and system tolerance for harmful practices and build their capacity to provide stable, protective, nurturing family environments for children. Project support also includes community mobilization and advocacy.
