Empowering Widows.
Inspiring Hope.
We are dedicated to creating a world where widows are uplifted, cherished, and given new opportunities
Who We Are
Circle of Comfort Zambia is a compassionate NGO dedicated to supporting widows by raising awareness, fighting poverty, and challenging injustice. Our mission is to create a community where every widow can thrive with dignity, support, and empowerment
Community Outreach & Services
Whether stocking a local pantry or rebuilding after disasters, effective outreach starts with listening. We share frameworks and tools for programs that meet people where they are and leave them strong.
Community Fundraising
Impact thrives when heart meets strategy. Dive into donor journeys, ethical storytelling, recurring-gift models, and creative events that keep the mission moving and supporters inspired.
Volunteer Voices
Behind every milestone stand volunteers, mentors, medics, coders, cooks, each with a story worth sharing. Celebrate their win and discover ways to recruit, train, and retain passionate teammates.
Our Mission & Values
Every program we create at Circle of Comfort is designed to uplift widows and empower communities with compassion and dignity. Through honest communication and practical support, we strive to inspire hope, build strong connections, and encourage collaboration both locally and beyond.
Transparency & Stewardship
We treat every donation, whether it’s a single coin in a collection jar or a seven-figure grant, with the same rigorous care. Detailed impact reports, quarterly independent audits, and real-time project dashboards allow supporters to trace each kwacha from receipt to result.
By publishing success metrics and setbacks side-by-side, we make room for honest dialogue, faster course-corrections, and deeper trust between our team, our partners, and the communities we serve.
Inclusive Collaboration
At Circle of Comfort, we believe lasting change comes from those who know the challenges best. Before starting any program, we hold listening circles, provide materials in local languages, and bring together community leaders, youth advocates, and elders to shape our goals together.
We build partnerships across sectors connecting NGOs with small businesses, universities, and faith groups to blend diverse knowledge, foster innovation, and create programs that honor cultural traditions while growing their impact.
Lifelong Service
Charity is not a single event; it’s a lifelong rhythm of empathy in action. We nurture that rhythm through mentorship pipelines and hands-on training that equip volunteers to grow from one-time helpers into seasoned servant-leaders. Workshops on trauma-informed care and systemic advocacy empower people to address root causes, not just symptoms.
By celebrating service milestones and providing ongoing educational resources, we foster a global network committed to transforming compassion into enduring, generational impact.
