About Ubumi

Make a difference in Zambian prisons

Ubumi is the crossroads between development and relief

Incarcerated individuals in African prisons live in harsh conditions. Overcrowding and unhygienic conditions, lack of medical care and food can all lead to illness and death.

The Ubumi Prisons Initiative works for the rights of all inmates in Zambian prisons, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable; children and youth, pregnant women, the seriously ill, the mentally ill and the mentally vulnerable.

Ubumi works to limit and mitigate the psychological, physical, social and health consequences of imprisonment.
