Welcome to the real Africa!

Tikondane is a community centre run by and for the people in Katete, Zambia. It has a community school and an adult education program focused on ecological planned health and small business ideas. Income-generating activities such as gardening and craft training are just as important as the development of the community, which Tikondane has pioneered. Tikondane is a jewel for those who want to discover the real Africa outside the tourist regions.

What we do

Support Tiko
