SSHJM have been providing essential development & humanitarian support to the marginalised & vulnerable for 150 years.sshjmdevelopment.org Cork, IrelandJoined February 2024
Great week at BSNP, it is doing so much in support of the vulnerable & children and young adults with disabilities in Lusaka🇿🇲 across special needs & inclusive education, health, livelihood & rights, reaching a total of 1650 annually. The stories of change are so powerful.
Meet Bauleni Special Needs Project 🇿🇲 sheltered workshop staff. Valued staff, doing a great job, leading by example, inspiring others.
Sheltered employment is the hiring of employees with disabilities and providing a supportive, inclusive environment. Employers, get on it!
Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”.
This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate…
The climate crisis is not just an environmental emergency.
It is a human rights catastrophe.
We must confront and correct the deep injustices it has laid bare, by insisting on legal accountability, and demanding climate justice.
On #WorldHumanitarianDay we remember the 380 aid workers killed in 2024 and 128 more already this year. Those with power must end the violence and protect every human life.

The SSHJM BSNP farm serves many purposes; it hosts an accredited general agriculture course, it's an income generating activity, it offers (green) hands on farming experience for children, provides nutritious food for school meals etc. it is multi faceted.
Meet Debra Njuka, BSNPs very own psychologist. Debra supports children, parents and staff, and conducts invaluable disability assessments.
BSNP also has access to a psychiatrist who prescribes necessary medication to our children e.g. those with epilepsy.

SSHJM Development theme 3:
#climateresilientlivelihoods
Too many leaders today view human rights as the problem.
We know human rights are the solution.
They are the foundation of peace.
They are the engine of progress.
And they are the path out of conflict & chaos to security & hope.
SSHJM Inclusive Development Programme Zambia won the @miseancara climate action award 2024 winning €3000. The funds have been invested in a soon to be completed integrated fish, crop and livestock farming system at the SSHJM demo farm. Circular sustainable farming 🐷🐔🐟🫛
Met a model livelihoods group in Mongwi District 🇿🇲 today named Tuleyapanta Shi. In a short time their organic vegetable plot is bursting with goodness. They are formulating organic fertiliser & bio pesticide, using the efficient wood burning stove & much more. Very Impressive
Day 3 All things climate resilient livelihoods. Met 3 farming groups supported in climate smart crop & vegetable production, livestock raring, fisheries and saving/ lending models. Groups reported improved food security, nutrition, income, and hope for the future.
#climatesmart
Makola, Mpulungu District 🇿🇲, SSHJM inclusive development program & @unicefzambia support adolescents to stay in school, return to school, end child marriage and delay early pregnancies. 363 adolescents are in 12 peer to peer support groups.
#stayinschool#endchildmarriage
The testimonies and stories from parent support groups of children with disabilities were so moving and powerful yesterday. It sure isn't easy, but together they are strong, and SSHJM volunteers and staff support in the provision of inclusive education and health. Thank you 👏🏿
This small building may look simple but it's having a huge impact on girls education. It is a latrine and wash room for girls at SSHJM Chele school. Previously, girls would miss school esp. during their menstrual cycle, now they have the privacy and space they require. 👏🏿🎓
All things inclusive education on day 2 @ SSHJM Inclusive Development Programme Northern Zambia 🇿🇲. Visited SSHJM Chele primary school with 420 students. Then on to the ever evolving SSHJM Victor Braun inclusive school, 360 students, 221 with disabilities.
