The Elephant Charge is an annual 4×4 family friendly event held in the Zambian wilderness, with thirty five teams of cars and motorbikes challenged to complete a demanding course of tough terrain over the shortest possible distance. The Charge is held to raise money for conservation in Zambia, mainly focused on “conservation through education“.
Mwabu is a keen supporter of efforts to improve environmental and climate change awareness and is a key part of the team that is developing the iLearnabout project, which will enable users to access free digital content relevant to those important topics.
Mwabu sponsored a team for the first time and acquitted themselves well as ‘newbies’, completing the course in one of the quickest times and raising over $5,000 for conservation in the process.
Ian McFadyen, the CEO of Mwabu Zambia, attended a State House trade investment round table on 21st March 2023. The delegation, led by Karen Taylor of Invest Africa, compromised nine companies representing the Energy, Mining, Education, Infrastructure and Logistics sectors, among others. Zambia’s business-friendly environment and stable governance generated much investor interest.
Mwabu is pleased to share that we were an award winner at the Techtrends Zambia Awards ceremony for the Year 2022.
