WHO WE ARE
Life Initiative for Change (LIC) is a growing Zambian NGO dedicated to advocating for the rights of women, girls, youths and other vulnerable populations. Founded in 2020 and incorporated in 2022, LIC came into existence from experience of seeing vulnerable groups of society experiencing various life issues and yet not being able to adequately address them either because solutions are not available or not adequately targeted.
LIC’s work is structured around four key pillars:
Health: LIC partners with the Ministry of Health to provide essential health services while integrating climate-sensitive interventions to enhance community resilience and equitable access, especially for vulnerable populations
Disaster Risk Reduction: LIC enhances community resilience by addressing key risk drivers, including climate change, gender inequality, and food and water insecurity. To mitigate these risks, LIC promotes sustainable waste management, clean energy adoption, sustainable food systems, and WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene). Additionally, LIC supports communities in developing disaster preparedness plans and implementing early warning systems to prevent and respond effectively to disasters
