About Ubumi

Make a difference in Zambia's prisons

Ubumi works in the intersection between development and relief

Incarcerated individuals in African prisons live in harsh conditions. Overcrowding and unhygienic conditions, lack of medical care and food makes people highly vulnerable.

The Ubumi Prisons Initiative works for the rights of incarcerated people in Zambia’s 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.
