ZCCM-IH staff joined the rest of the world in commemorating this year’s World AIDS Day under the theme “Know Your Status” by paying a visit to Our Lady’s Hospice in Kalingalinga, Lusaka, where assorted household items, as well as medical supplies were donated.

Our Lady’s Hospice is a faith-based organisation that aims “to promote and provide quality palliative care through a committed team in a conducive environment for patients who have HIV, AIDS, and Cancer.” While the K25, 000 worth of assorted items provided some lifeline to Our Lady’s Hospice’s cause, the hospice depends solely on the charity and generosity of well-wishers. The matron called upon other corporates to emulate the gesture by ZCCM-IH.
