Zambia Chinese Association Steps Up with K1.2 Million Flood Relief Donation

 By Daily News Reporter 

In a heartwarming display of solidarity, the Zambia Chinese Association has donated K1.2 million in cash and relief supplies to support victims of the recent floods that have left many families displaced across the country.¹ This generous gesture has been commended by Vice President Mutale Nalumango, who praised the Chinese community's timely intervention.

The relief package includes essential food supplies, such as maize meal, rice, and cooking oil, as well as non-food items like disinfectants, blankets, and protective gear to assist with sanitation and temporary resettlement. Additionally, the association has donated K200,000 in cash to support reconstruction efforts in affected communities.

Zhang Jiang, president of the Zambia Chinese Association, emphasized that the Chinese community is equally affected by the happenings in the country and feels a deep sense of responsibility to give back. "We gather here with deep concern and responsibility for the disaster-affected people, bringing warmth and hope to those in need," he said.

The donation is a symbol of love and care from the overseas Chinese community for the people of Zambia. The rapid response was made possible by the collective efforts of nearly 60 Chinese enterprises and expatriates based in Zambia.

The Chinese community's commitment to Zambia is not new. The two countries have enjoyed a cordial relationship for 60 years, with China being a trusted partner in times of need. Acting Chinese Ambassador to Zambia Wang Sheng reaffirmed this commitment, pledging continued support for humanitarian and development initiatives.

As the flood crisis continues to unfold, the government has called for more support from local and international partners to ensure affected families receive adequate assistance. The Zambia Chinese Association's donation is a shining example of the power of community and international cooperation in times of crisis.
