Social Responsibility
Our passion for service includes a commitment to the community we live and work in, and our pledge to do all we can to help our society. In the past, some of the activities to serve our community include the construction of an ultra modern police station in Chawama.
In 2013, our company under its own cost undertook the construction of the Chawama Police Station into a modern police facility. As another way of expressing its corporate social responsibility. The police station was officially opened by the Minister of Home Affairs, Honorable Edger Chagwa Lungu, now President of the Republic of Zambia (2019).
Social Responsibility
Donation of 1000 Balls to FAZ
In 2012, as part of our corporate social responsibility and in celebration of the success of the Zambia National Football team (Chipolopolo) at the 2012 edition of the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament, Lamasat International donated about 1,000 footballs to the Football Association of Zambia for their use in the development of soccer across the country. Our company has undertaken a number of other corporate social responsibility initiatives such as sponsorship of the 50th Independence Anniversary celebrations, donations to charities and so on.
Social Responsibility
Fountain of Hope Orphanage
We also took up a responsibility to repaint Fountain of Hope Orphanage in Kabwata where a number of kids have found a home, as Lamasat this gesture to create a clean and happy environment did not end at Fountain of Hope, but was extended to Kamwala and Kabwata Market where a handful of buckets of paint were delivered at the lowest price our products would. This was to ease financial costs.
