The Directors of Friends For Zambia have agreed to be responsible for administrative costs including travel so that 100% of all funds raised goes directly to the Twitti School Project. One of the Directors visits Zambia each year, when possible, to see in person how the school is operating.
COVID cancelled the next two trips (planned for 2020 and 2022) after Directors Shelley and Patricia's joint visit in 2018 and Director Judy's trip in 2019. The most recent visit was by Judy in November/December of 2024. Patricia is planning to go this year.You can download and read Judy's report, and reports of all of the visits, in the Visitor Reports Download Page.
