Together for a Greener Zambia.

Driving source segregation and waste-to-value solutions across Zambia.

Where we are today

Solvia is a newly-established, founder-led initiative. Here is what is in place, what comes next, and where we are heading.

Now

Laying the foundation

  • NGO registration in progress
  • Preliminary needs assessment completed
  • Initial household segregation pilot (about 20 households approached)
Next

Preparing the first pilot

  • Secure authority for a baseline survey
  • Identify the first pilot community
  • Design the collection and segregation system
  • Train waste stewards and community volunteers
Later

Measure, improve, expand

  • Monitor participation and results
  • Review and improve the model
  • Develop a scale-up and resource-mobilisation plan

Our findings so far are preliminary — a full baseline survey is planned once authorisation is secured. Looking for a way to help? See the partnerships we’re seeking.
