Tikondane is a grassroots community centre run for and by the people of Katete in Eastern Zambia. Our mission is to fight poverty in Katete through better education, health and entrepreneurship; helping local people to help themselves while maintaining their traditional values.
Much of daily life in Katete is still heavily influenced by traditional beliefs and practices. One can experience these first hand at Tiko.

After 15 years of creating jobs, running in-service training, regular and irregular classes and seminars, Tiko has finally developed a nineteen step plan which will move subsistence farmers out of poverty.

Our goal is to become self-sufficient, but we do depend on the support of generous friends and partners to support the ongoing running costs of Tiko. There are many ways to support us or get involved, depending on where you are in the world!
