The Sausage Tree Charity works to provide funding for three schools in the Luangwa Valley region in Zambia. This unspoilt corner of Zambia is dominated by the South Luangwa National Park, a haven for african wildlife. The park does provide employment, but most families in this area live in poverty and struggle to provide even the most basic education to children in the area.
Established in 2000 by husband and wife team, Lu and Will Chignell, the charity was born out of their desire to help local children achieve an education despite the lack of government funding and the struggle for local families to meet even their most basic needs of food, clothes and medicines.
