About us

Mulonga Empowerment Organization was first called Oasis informal, which was formed in the month of September 2018. The group later changed its name from Oasis Empowerment Team to Mulonga Empowerment Organization during the registration process where it was discovered that another organization was using the same name. The term “Mulonga” is a Bemba word (local language) for river or stream. The Organization (headed by six board of directors) is a team of educated, dynamic and like-minded men and women from different work backgrounds that have a burden to help vulnerable adolescents and young people as well as older women (the marginalized) in the area of education and their well-being. The Organization is independent as well as nonprofit making, registered under nongovernmental act no 16 of 2009 of the republic of Zambia.
