Our Mission
Who We Are
The Verda Project is a committed non-profit, student-led initiative dedicated to enriching underprivileged communities in Zambia by donating fruit trees. Our sustainable practices focus on cultivating a greener future through food security and community activism.
“By planting fruit trees in homes and community orchards, we provide people, especially children, with fresh, nutritious food right where they live. These trees supply essential vitamins and nutrition, create sustainable food sources year-round, and help communities become more self-reliant. Beyond food, they improve the local environment, enrich the soil, and support a greener, healthier future for everyone.”

Chiyaze ACE Farm (Alliance for Children Everywhere), located 33 miles east of Lusaka, Chongwe
Building on the impact of our first donation drive, The Verda Project is launching a second initiative to further support Alliance for Children Everywhere’s agriculture project at the Chiyaze Farm in Chongwe. Working closely with Mr. Chiyaze, the farm manager, our goal is to donate over 40 fruit trees of different varieties, along with essential farm equipment and supplies. This effort will strengthen food production, support long term sustainability, and expand the reach of ACE’s work with vulnerable children and families.
