Strenghts
i4Life is run by health professionals, with extensive experience in child health care. As medical health professionals, nurses and doctors, we offer our expertise and support to our Zambian colleagues thus ensuring sustainable care for children and of our programmes.
i4Life employees, volunteers and Trustees apply their expertise to focus on education, immunisation, nutrition and Human Rights.
I4Life has sustainable and valued partnerships with local stakeholders such as the Neri clinics, University of Zambia (UNZA), Ministry of Health (MoH), Irish Aid (IA) and University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and provides extensive training and support to community health workers. These programmes have been hugely successful and will continue for many years to come, reaching the most vulnerable.
We have established and recognised nutrition clinics in townships around Lusaka. We employ two Nutritionists and 32 Community Health Workers to treat children, educate their parents and communities, in a sustainable way. Since 2018 UNZA Dietetic students gain their Community Clinical Skills at the i4Life Nutrition clinic. This is the first community placement of its kind in Zambia.
4Life has extensive experience in providing training on child safeguarding.
Our internal policies reflect our commitment to children and vulnerable adults. i4Life are compliant with the Charities Governance Code and our Trustees all have the necessary skills to ensure we operate ethically, lawfully and in accordance with our mission statement; "To help achieve a sustainable and healthy future for children under 5 by reducing disease and malnutrition in low-resource countries”.
