ZOA brings together Zambians and friends of Zambia who are concerned about the AIDS pandemic to face this challenge and seek ways of responding to the desperate need for support. The projects ZOA supports are spread across the country. ZOA is active in seven of Zambia’s nine provinces and in both rural and urban areas. Although not all projects are supported every year, ZOA remains engaged with most of them through visits and assistance in kind, as well as by offering advice for the sustainability of their efforts.
