PAZESA Horticultural community with
support from “The
Lion’s Share” intends to facilitate Viable and Sustainable Livelihoods to mitigate impact of COVID -
19 Project in Kalichero, Mphomwa and Mambwe area east of South Luangwa National
Park, Zambia, Southern Africa.
The Main aim of the project is to mitigate the socio-economic impact of COVID-19, conserve wildlife and strengthen community resilience in communities reliant on wildlife-based ecotourism enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic. This effort strives to curb ruthless unruly wildlife poaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. PAZESA will facilitate viable and sustainable livelihoods to enhance food security and reduce poverty so that people refrain from ruthless wildlife poaching to generate income and food. We intend to establish a fish hub to provide fingerlings and facilitate fish farming training to beneficiaries and the community. The project will uplift the wellbeing of women and youths by alleviating 40% poverty among beneficiaries and enabling beneficiaries to earn US$9 per day; then live on US$3 per day, invest US$3 per day and save US$3 per day. Facilitation of sustainable livelihoods like fish farming, livestock and horticulture production will provide all year round alternative food and stable income for marginalized families so as to divert people’s attention from wildlife poaching to sustainable wildlife conservation and strengthen resiliency in communities reliant on wildlife-based ecotourism enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic.
All credit will go to “The Lion’s Share” for
the Humble financial will to the project.
