Day 3 Thursday 22nd October 2026

We made an early start to travel on the dry dusty tracks to the Ntambo community. The rural landscape is arid and devoid of any greenery .

The Ntambo community has quite a few disabled members including Priscilla who receives HHI monthly food support.

Priscilla is physically dependent on crutches and unable to hear or speak .She has a 6 year old son Isaiah. She was delighted to see us

Priscilla is a qualified seamstress thanks to the training she received a few years ago in the HHZ compound in Monze.

She is able to exchange the garments she makes for additional food to feed herself & her son .

Members of the Ntambo Community were waiting for our arrival to officially thank HHI for the bore hole & solar pump which has been successfully installed.  They explained how all their lives have been immeasurable transformed by this new water supply.

It was a very worthwhile visit and most humbling to see how a generous action by supporters in the UK have transformed the lives of this community so completely.

Then some more dusty miles across the countryside to visit Chabilo and his brothers. Chabilo is confined to his wheelchair with cerebral palsy but he is always smiling . He and his family received their monthly food support and were delighted.

The last visit of the day was to see how we could help a family where the mother of triplets sadly died when they were few just a few months old . Their aunty, grandmother & great mother are doing their very best to look after the babies. There are a few challenges such as buying formula milk and organising suitable sleeping arrangements.
