Since 2014, through the Livingstone Foundation, we\u2019ve been committed to building those doors in Zambia\u2019s Luangwa Valley: funding schools, sponsoring students to enter secondary education, clean water initiatives, and community development projects in one of Africa\u2019s most remote regions.<\/strong><\/p>&#13;\n<p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2023, we launched the <strong>Livingstone Volunteer Program<\/strong>, inviting employees to travel to Zambia and support students\u00a0on the brink of life-changing transitions \u2013 from rural villages to universities and careers in the city, or into the workforce. The goal: to equip them with the soft skills\u00a0they need to thrive \u2013 budgeting, public speaking, teamwork, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our volunteers partner with two of Zambia\u2019s most impactful NGOs \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectluangwa.org\/\">Project Luangwa<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chipembele.org\/\">Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust\u00a0<\/a>\u2013 to lead two-week training sessions with students aged 18-23. These sessions are practical, hands-on, and deeply empowering.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/zh-hans\/team\/inma-vidal\/\">Inma Vidal<\/a> (Valencia) and <a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/zh-hans\/team\/felix-baust\/\">Felix Baust<\/a> (D\u00fcsseldorf) were among our first volunteers, teaching everything from Excel to sustainable business. Their impact? Immediate and lasting.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cI wholeheartedly thank each volunteer who dedicates his or her time to mentor and guide our first-generation students: their experience and commitment are vital in helping them take the next step in their careers. Beyond conveying to them the importance of confidence, constant effort and discipline, these sessions allow the young people to truly connect with professionals who have traveled similar paths and understand that their aspirations are possible.<\/em><\/p>&#13;\n<p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>At the same time, those who participate as volunteers return with a deeper understanding of the needs of our community and the tangible impact of the work that, together with the Livingstone Foundation, we have been building for the past 10 years. Each time I visit our projects in Zambia, I return refreshed and inspired; I am confident that this year\u2019s volunteers will share that same energy and return ready to continue to drive change.\u201d <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/zh-hans\/team\/neil-collen\/\"><strong>Neil Collen<\/strong><\/a><strong>, President of Livingstone Foundation.<\/strong><\/p>&#13;\n<p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This summer, we\u2019re proud to send <a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/zh-hans\/team\/mattia-verde\/\">Mattia Verde<\/a> (Italy) and <a href=\"https:\/\/livingstonepartners.com\/zh-hans\/team\/matilda-aberg\/\">Matilda \u00c5berg<\/a> (Sweden) to continue the mission. Over two weeks, they\u2019ll work directly with students, witness the Foundation\u2019s broader work, and experience the extraordinary landscape of South Luangwa National Park.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Livingstone Volunteer Program is fully funded by the firm, and each participant is chosen based on their motivation, contribution to the cause, and commitment to Livingstone\u2019s values.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>&#13;\n&#13;\n<\/p>&#13;\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re teaching a class or learning from a community, the impact goes both ways. This is more than volunteering: it\u2019s a journey that <strong>inspires, connects, and transforms<\/strong>.<\/p>&#13;\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supporting young Zambians with skills for the future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":58000,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2737],"tags":[],"sector":[],"service":[],"class_list":["post-59438","insights","type-insights","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-livingstone-foundation"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
