Nsefu Rangers are training to protect wildlife!
The Nsefu Team traveled to the Nyamaluma Training Base to check on our Rangers in training. The Rangers are in working hard and in great shape.
Ranger Frank, during a weapon maintenance test, was top of his class in dismantling an AK47 Assault Rifle, in a time of 15 seconds.

Nsefu Beekeeping produces first batch of honey for market!
The Nsefu Wildlife honey now for sale.
Honey ready for sale!
The Nsefu Wildlife Team is producing honey from our Beekeeping/Bio-Fencing program and it’s now ready for SALE!
Price: K135 per liter/litre
Single Jar: K45
Contact Steve Zulu at +260 97 8072275 if you wish to purchase honey or would like to become a distributor.
Since this is our first batch of honey ready for sale, we're looking to do the following to get it to market.
Get some to His Royal Highness Senior Chief Nsefu.
This will hopefully allow him to appreciate that indeed Nsefu conservation means serious business which is fulfilling our aspirations in our pursuit to change both the face of the chiefdom and it's people.
Get some to Top Government Officials.
We can send a few samples to the District Commissioner, Council chairman, Council secretary and provincial Minister. This will help to establish our name far beyond our members , which will put our foundation on the map as a way of trying to alleviate poverty within the Nsefu community through these sustainable ventures.
Hold a Small Official Ceremony.
Invite village headmen, chiefs indunas and few major stakeholders to show our products and ask for their support in showing the need to conserve. When we started the beekeeping project many within the community did not believe that anything would be achieved. The ceremony would be a good testimony that beekeeping can be successfully done.
Purchase a Small Processing Machine.
This will help to boost the efficiency of the honey processing system. Which in time will make Nsefu Beekeeping project a complete hive to honey production system for the community.
Open up a Retail Shop.
We can have our own store to sell products from both our sewing project and beekeeping project. This can accomplish both showcasing our community projects and being able to sell locally.
JDRF Donates office furniture to Nsefu Wildlife
Thanks to the generous donation of used office equipment from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation!
Unloading the donated items for eventual shipment to Zambia.
This past weekend (9/26), the Nsefu Team collected used office items for use in Zambia. This all started with Christine Rhoads, Nsefu Wildlife board member and of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) employee , donating used office equipment.
Coe Lewis (Nsefu Wildlife Co-Founder) was able to round up volunteers to help take possession of the items. David Wallace was able to rent a Uhaul, and volunteer Darren Ada drove the Uhaul to and from the donation site. It was a pretty full 26 foot Uhaul truck.
It was amazing to have so much help to pick up the donated items! The volunteers included Brian Lathrem, Al Reed, Darren Ada, George Marquez, Victory Wallace, David Wallace, Christa Baxter, Doug Baxter, Cary Rothman, John Hansen , Steve Churchill, Mitch Rand, Christine Rhoads, and Coe Lewis.
We would like to thank JDRF for their generous donation of the office equipment.
