relief projects

At Shoulder 2 Shoulder, providing consistent food relief to vulnerable communities is at the heart of our mission. Through monthly food distributions, we deliver essential supplies like maize and other staple foods to households facing food scarcity. With over 60,000 bags of maize distributed so far, our efforts are designed to bridge the gap between hunger and hope, ensuring that families have the nourishment they need to survive and thrive. By partnering with local churches and community leaders, we ensure that aid reaches those who need it most, restoring dignity and stability one meal at a time.

Access to clean, safe water is fundamental to health and community growth. Shoulder 2 Shoulder is committed to making this a reality for underserved villages throughout Zambia. Through well digging, bore-hole construction, and the development of rainwater harvesting systems, we address the critical need for reliable water sources. To date, we have successfully completed 23 clean water projects, providing life-giving access to communities that previously struggled with limited or contaminated water supplies. Each well serves as a lifeline, fostering better health, agricultural productivity, and long-term sustainability.

Safe, stable housing is essential for families to build better futures. Shoulder 2 Shoulder partners with local communities to construct and renovate homes for those in dire need. With 12 homes built so far, our efforts provide more than shelter; they offer a foundation for dignity, safety, and renewed hope. Each home construction project is a collaborative effort, bringing together resources, volunteers, and local leaders to ensure that families can live securely and rebuild their lives. Our commitment to building homes is part of a broader vision to empower communities toward self-sufficiency and lasting transformation.
