Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. We are fundraising for the Twaabane Creative Centre.

The Twaabane Creative Centre is in Simonga village, about 16km outside of Livingstone, Zambia. In the local language, 'Twaabane' means "Let us share".

Our vision is to become a self-sufficient and community integrated creative hub in Simonga, Southern Zambia. 

Our mission is to deliver high-quality vocational training, strengthen employment pathways, and increase income opportunities for Simonga families.

In a community with a stubbornly high poverty rate, and low educational attainment, many residents rely on low-paid, unskilled labour opportunities to provide for their families. High-quality vocational skills training has the potential to make a powerful impact.

In 2022, as well as focusing on our well-established Textile Studio Training Programme, the Twaabane team will be embarking on an exciting new project - the Community Kitchen Unit. This unit be a multifunctioning space that will offer:

(1) A safe area for trainees to cook and dine together;

(2) A new skills development unit for preparing fresh produce from the garden;

(3) An open meeting space for trainees and visitors to the centre.

The total cost of building the Community Kitchen Unit is £11,000. This includes planning and laying foundations, installing plumbing and electricity, labour costs, and purchasing industrial equipment, sustainable stoves, basic storage and cooking equipment, dining tables, and benches. Any contribution that you make will be greatly appreciated.
