Partner

2012 travelers in Lusaka

CWB was founded on the principle of “jumelage” meaning partnership. Two partners working together can accomplish more than one alone.

Since CWB’s first partnership was established between the First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton and the Chawama community in Zambia, these organizations have partnered with us:

Eliot Church, Newton Corner
First Church in Belmont Unitarian Universalist
First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton
Brockton Neighborhood Health Center
First Baptist Church, Lexington
First Parish Church, Lexington
Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates in Watertown
Pilgrim Church, Lexington
Union Church, Newton
Wellesley Village Congregational Church

Partners can be any socially-minded organization interested in helping at-risk children in Zambia according to the CWB mission.

U.S. Partner responsibilities usually include:

  • Fundraising for CWB programs
  • Volunteering by traveling to Zambia on CWB-sponsored trips
  • Organizing donations of clothing, school supplies

Partnerships

In 2011, CWB formed a partnership with The Bata Shoe company Children’s Program, the foundation arm of the global footwear manufacturer, to provide shoes to children in Zambia. This partnership allows CWB to purchase shoes at a substantial discount for over 450 Zambian orphans and vulnerable children.

Because children are required to wear shoes in order to go to school, and most cannot afford this, the cost of shoes constitutes a major share of CWB’s budget. The partnership with Bata means that we will be able to channel more of our resources on the educational process itself.

Nicole Voillat, Director of the Bata Children’s Program based in Lausanne, Switzerland, said the partnership with CWB reflects Bata’s commitment to creating a brighter future for children in communities where Bata operates. “Social responsibility has been in the DNA of Bata Shoes since its founding in 1894,” Voillat said. www.batachildrensprogram.org


Founded in 1982, Community Works’ goal is to provide a stable and growing source of support for social justice organizations that are working toward eliminating economic inequality, discrimination and injustice. As one of Community Works’ 31 member organizations, CWB receives a portion of contributions raised by Community Works through payroll deductions, charitable fund-raising events and other sources. CWB representatives also participate on Community Works’ Board and work committees.
