In the journey to transform lives and uplift communities, true change happens when we shift the power to the very people who live and work in these communities. This guiding principle is at the heart of the Community Relief and Development Foundation (CRDF). Established in 2007 to address poverty and deprivation in Zambia’s Western and Southern Provinces, CRDF is a beacon for a more equitable and empowered Zambia, where rural communities thrive through nature-based solutions, equal opportunities, and sustainable practices.
