Meet Our Staff in Zambia
Haswell Chibalanga oversees all projects in Zambia. He is the father of six children and the sole provider for two nieces and his handicapped uncle.
During one of her trips to Zambia, Peggy Rogers needed a photographer to travel with her and document the trip for her presentations back in the United States. She noticed a man (Haswell) carrying around a camera and taking pictures of tourists, which is rare in Zambia because cameras and film are so expensive.
Haswell accepted Peggy's offer to photograph her trip and he has been a trusted and valuable member of the ZSF staff ever since. Haswell is not only a photographer for ZSF, he is also the liasion between Peggy and the schools that are sponsored by ZSF.
Haswell has always been an entrepreneur. He has doubled his small income by creating an outside"movie theater" at his home, which consists of a television set protected from the rain under a plastic tarp. He also refurbishes and sells batteries and has set up a secretarial school.
ZSF recieved sad news that Haswell passed away in March 2012. He was an exceptional person and a valuable employee. He will be greatly missed!

In the documentary, Teach a Man to Fish, Humphrey Kafula tells us how as a young teen he become utterly hopeless. His home life was very bad and he had no chance of success at school. He could see no end to his misery. He went out to a remote area, planning to take his life, hoping he would never be found and bring shame to his mother. While there he had a miraculous experience that made him realize that God cared for him. He turned around and went home and in a very short time ended up being sponsored so that he could go to school. He meet a teacher that changed his life filling him with hope and inspiration. His greatest desire in life then became the goal to become a teacher and share the light he gained from his education. Humphrey worked in the mines to save enough money, but couldn’t make ends meet. Eventually the Fund was able to send Humphrey to college. He was so happy he couldn’t express it.
Now, Humphrey is a teacher assigned to a rural village. Now his dreams of bringing hope and happiness to hundreds of young African students has come true. In time he hopes to work his way up to being a High School teacher.
