Tiza is a 28 year old man living in a rural town called Mfuwe in Zambia. He has wanted to become a teacher since he was 12. Tiza believes education is key to improving the lives of the community but also key to conserving nature. Mfuwe town lies outside one of Zambia largest national parks. Growing up in this area has meant Tiza is passionate about conservation of animals and wildlife. But without education people cannot understand the importance of conservation.

He completed school in 2001 but did not have enough money to afford teacher training. He started working in a textiles company as an artist creating products to sell to tourists. He hoped to start raising money for teacher training but he got married and had a child and so supporting them became his main priority.

However he still dreams of becoming a teacher one day so he can educate children about conservation. I want to help him complete this dream.
