Chisamba

The Chisamba district is located in the Central province, Zambia. Chisamba, a small town, acts as the administrative capital of the district. Work in government institutions such as Police and health centres and schools provide employment opportunities as a source of livelihood for a limited number of number of people. The majority of the locals work on the commercial farms and are employed as security personnel, drivers, plumbers and carpenters, or they provide secretarial, planting and harvesting, jobs. A number of these people supplement their income with backyard gardens where they grow vegetables for home consumption and sell at roadside market stalls.
