About Opportunities Zambia
What we do
We support programs that provide real opportunities to people in Zambia, from feeding children to building classrooms to teaching women to make washable sanitary pads.
Our Story
We started as a simple attempt to help people, using money from a monthly coffee morning selling home baking in the south of Scotland. Now we want to help even more.
Get involved
There is so much opportunity, and donating money or offering help can make a real difference to people who really need it. We’re just ordinary people like you – come join in!

These are the children living at Madalitso home orphanage. They have been busy weeding, planting and tending to their crops, and this is the result. Happy and rightly proud children showing off the fruits of their growing season.
This isn’t just food on a plate, it is living and learning. We are so proud of you all, well done! 💕

Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
No!
It’s Louis sharing scenes of Umodzi school from the top of the water tower 🫣

If you know how difficult it is to get everyone to standstill for a family photo?
These are a few snaps of our beautiful children at the orphanage. Thank you for continuing to support them! More photos coming soon 💕

Looking good 👍
When is your next coffee morning at Darnick
This is Agnes’ school that we visited last year. The school motto, is “Education is the key to a bright future”.
Agnes is a caring and committed headmistress. She has a quiet calm manner and she runs a well disciplined school. If you walk past the school when lessons are in progress there is complete silence and concentration from all the pupils.
But there is another side - today we wanted to show what play time is like. It is a very small school, but my goodness they make the most of their outdoor space!
As with all the schools we support, there is fresh water from the bore hole for drinking and daily living.
Your support has helped us to develop this school, provide nutritious food for all the pupils, and support the daily costs of education. With your support these children already feel loved and valued, are gaining a good education, and most of all, have a future of opportunities ahead of them.
Help us keep this wonderful little school thriving by coming along to our next bake sale in Darnick on 27th September from 10am.
(photo and video separate as I don’t know how to share them both together on Facebook!!)

Great school photos
Totally amazing.
Here it is! The news so many of you have been waiting for…. yes, Sukie’s scones and coffee morning is coming back!!
Our monthly coffee mornings will be continuing from 27th September (last Saturday of the month). We will send out another reminder before then but this is for you organised and busy people to make sure you have the date on your calendar 😁
We would love to let more people know about our coffee mornings - a great place for people to meet old and new friends - so please like review and share our page, ands don’t forget our ulterior motive is to use all the money we raise to make a real difference to young lives through feeding and education.
See you in September 😁👍🏼 ☕️🧁🍰

Great stuff 😀
The smallest school that we support is Mashila, a lovely little school in the countryside, fairly close to Umodzi school.
The school has had some problems in the past, finding the right teachers for its rural setting, but, with the help of Louis and his team at Umodzi school, the local parents and community are coming together to clear land for sports, exercise and school projects.
With the new teachers in place (supported through Opportunities Zambia), and an increasing school role, we are excited to see this school go from strength to strength!
Did you notice a few Tweedbank Thistle shirts ?
