Irish Community in Zambia

There is a small but vibrant community of Irish in Zambia. We have an excellent reputation in the country, with thanks to the positive legacy left by many missionaries, especially through their work in education and health. Today an estimated 800 Irish passport holders continue to contribute with a positive impact on Zambian society –through business, volunteering, teaching and many other activities.
