Copper Rose Zambia Celebrates Zambia's Independence in Style

On the 25th of October, the CRZ team embraced the spirit of Independence Day by wearing traditional attire and bringing delicious Zambian snacks to share. It was a delightful time of bonding and honoring our nation's independence.

Celebrating Women Leaders:?

We were also thrilled to see our CEO Dr. Natasha Salifyanji Kaoma recognized by the Bo’Jangles team as one of the "Sheroes of Zambia."? The campaign celebrates inspirational women who are empowering Zambia. Our CEO’s unwavering dedication to sexual and reproductive health has earned her a prominent position in promoting health equity both within Zambia and beyond.

Leading by Example:

Our Deputy CEO, Faith Kaoma Kabeleka, showcased her talent and leadership by participating in the "Zambia at 60" dance with E-Mark. The platform provided a powerful opportunity to highlight the potential of young people to lead the way.

Together, we are building a stronger, healthier, and more empowered Zambia!
