Eye Care:
The Zambia Association of Optometry, and Talala Africa has signed a memorandum of understanding to help and support the work of Optometry country wide. Together with the Association, Talala Africa aims at fostering collaborations with several partners working and supporting eye health care in Zambia. We conduct School Refractive Error services, Community Eye Health outreach reach activities and training.
Also, Talala Africa collects donated eye care equipment from the United States, and ships them to Zambia for use. Another goal for Talala Africa, is to facilitate for some of our partners who are eye care doctors in America to travel to Zambia, and do Refraction training for health workers working in Orbis supported facilities, Community Eye Health activities including cataract programs using our members in different areas in the country. At the moment, through the Zambia Association of Optometry, we are working directly with about 4 Senior Optometrists, who are Lecturers at the Levy Mwanawasa Medical University. And one of them is the Patron of the Students’ Optometry Association, and we’re in the process of incorporating the students into community activities.
Needs:
This school of Optometry has a teaching clinic that’s currently housed in a classroom with limited teaching equipment, Retinoscopes, Ophthalmoscopes, latest diagnostic equipment, laptops, and other teaching aids. Talala Africa, has stepped in to raise funds and acquire some of these equipment for the school.
Education
Talala Africa, is an organization established by people who understands and have benefited from education as a means to a better life of an African child. Our education program is simple and practical. We assist those who have done well in high school, but have no means to go to college or get ahead in life. It is students of this nature in Africa, that we seek after and strive to offer them a chance. Our organization, assists students by putting them through a teacher’s training college or nursing college for them to acquire self-reliant skills. We donate books to villages schools, starting with Zambia and Zimbabwe as part of our literacy pilot project. Eventually, We are committed to building primary schools, secondary schools and trades training schools as means for us to reach the forgotten places of Africa.
Our education motto is, “if you work hard today, then tomorrow will be easy.”
Unfortunately, one can only work hard, if you have the means to be empowered. The school to attend, books to read and tools to excel. And this is why Talala Africa was founded. In addition, Talala Africa fully understands and recognizes the role that teachers play in the lives of the students. Apart from our parents in the home, A teacher and the classroom have the most significant impact on the life of any child. Therefore, we are committed to producing as many teachers as possible in order for us to transform communities and change the lives of ordinary people.

Success Story
My name is Christine Yumbe. Am a student teacher at Kitwe College of education studying English language and Religious education junior secondary Diploma. I started my training in January, 2021. And during the first term of the year 2021 things started to be more difficult for me to stay in the college because we had big losses in the family business which was sustaining me in college. Struggled so much that I almost lost hope for me to proceed to the next term.
However, it’s all thanks to Mr Ng’ambi whom I shared my situation at the time and introduced me to Talala Africa and Talala Africa took it up from my second term of my first year up to now in my third year last term of my three (3) years program. Talala Africa has given me the opportunity to learn, to grow, to change, to transfer the knowledge and skills to others and to be shaped and shape others. Thank you Talala Africa for changing my life!
I do not take this opportunity for granted. Hence, I will continue to work extra hard to see to it that I graduate with flying colors and honor come early next year graduation. So that I too can be of help not only to my family members but also to the people in the community. Am so much grateful to Talala Africa.
