Founded in 2023, to contribute towards addressing some of the many challenges faced by underserved sub-groups within Zambia, Open Palms Initiative is a local not for profit faith-based organization that is passionate about making a significant impact towards uplifting our most vulnerable Zambians that are crying out for a helping hand.
Open Palms as the names suggests seeks to promote initiatives that are practical and evident in equipping vulnerable households with spiritual and material wellness.
Our conviction is that if we can build capacity within community members to self-assess their needs and guided by a spirit of open palms towards one another, we can foster communities that are resilient and responsive to one another’s needs. The Biblical injunction is to “remember the poor”.
Open Palms Initiative approach to community development work is premised on the fact that as a local organization we understand the language and cultural setting of the communities we seek to serve since we are part of them.
Our team of specialists have more than 20 years’ experience working in the development sector and are well acquainted with the challenges and constraints that have been barriers to development.
