Time Commitment: 3-4 board meetings per year, plus occasional contact emails, calls, and marketing/fundraising support.

About Us

Teacher Aid supports the Nsobe Development Trust in rural Zambia. We directly fund teachers' salaries for highly successful primary and secondary schools, a vital feeding programme, and safehouse accommodation for vulnerable teenage girls.

We also fund critical infrastructure projects as resources permit, having previously delivered an ICT lab, science lab, teacher accommodation, and a school library. The school began with just 16 children in a home and has grown to 650 pupils across two well-equipped schools.

You will join our governing board of 3 trustees to provide strategic direction, advocate for our cause, and ensure we comply with all legal and regulatory requirements set by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The school offers Christ centred education to children of all faiths; the Director and all senior management are Christians.
