How we began

Our story started with a program called LearnServe and a series of virtual meetings between like-minded individuals from two continents. We were united by our desire to make a tangible difference in the world around us. It wasn’t until we came together in July 2024 and got to experience the culture and people in Lusaka, Zambia, specifically a local community called Njira, that it became increasingly clear we were more than just a group of individuals; we were a team with a purpose.
