Fund raiser event 2003

On 1st November 2003 Conservation Lower Zambezi held their first formal fund raising event at the Holiday Inn Lusaka. The Guest of honour was the Zambian Minister for Tourism Patrick Kalifungwa who attended with his wife.

The Director General of the Zambian Wildlife Authority, Hapenga M. Kapeta and the Danish Ambassador Orla Bakdal also attended with their wives.

In total approximately eighty representatives of the Lusaka business community were present for the occasion which included a very moving presentation of the valuable work undertaken by CLZ in the Lower Zambezi.

Mr Kalifungwa's speech was well received and he promised the continuing political support for CLZ as an important factor in encouraging positive tourism in Zambia.

The evening consisted of a dinner and quiz based on the popular "Weakest Link" format. To close the evening, an auction was held with the selling of a number of donated gifts to the diners. Everyone entered into the spirit of the evening which raised approximately $7,000 for CLZ. Although this constitutes only a small proportion of the total income required to run CLZ's operations, the establishment and development of positive relationships with the business community in Zambia further raises the organisation's positive image and profile

Donations in 2001

CLZ receives no funding from the Zambian Government and is completely reliant on voluntary contributions from a variety of individuals and organisations.

Now more than ever CLZ needs the support of its members and the donor community. As our ability has grown, so have our expenses. A long overdue fundraising party has been arranged thanks to the superb efforts of Tracy Pieterse, Karen Clements and Siobhan Watson. CLZ is also most grateful for the support of its commercial members, its private members, and the donor community.
