Community interactions:
- In Zambia, the 2019 Human Development Report states that 63% of births are attended by skilled health personnel. The maternal mortality ratios are 224 per 100,000 live births. Only 26% of the population have access to basic sanitation facilities. To support locals the property provides medical treatment for children who require hospitalization and consultations with specialists. Over the course of 2021, these medical professionals provided close to 2,300 free consultations to residents, sparing them an estimated collective total of $88,000 USD in medical fees and associated travel costs
- Partnered with a new private boarding school in Livingstone as a destination for female sponsored students as there are no female only schools in the district; 100% of girls in programme passed their primary school exams and successfully continued to secondary school, outperforming girls who were not in the programme by on average 10%
