People’s Process on Housing and Poverty in Zambia (PPHPZ) is a local non-governmental organization that was founded in 2005 to support Zambia Homeless and Poor People’s Federation (ZHPPF) and other organized grassroots groups working towards building community resilience through community-led approaches. PPHPZ’s mission is to empower low-income communities, particularly the urban and rural poor, to take charge in addressing the challenges of poverty and homelessness. To date, PPHPZ has supported 650 households with low-cost housing, 6500 with basic services such as water and sanitation and 5 districts with green infrastructure. As an affiliate member of Slum Dwellers International (SDI), a global network of community-based federations, PPHPZ works within an international framework that emphasizes grassroots leadership and collective action to fight poverty and homelessness. Our work is guided by a set of core principles that place the poor at the heart of all efforts to bring about sustainable social change.
