 Access to food also became an increasingly important concern in Zambia due to a prolonged drought that affected the country. The sustained drop in the price of copper from the highs of the 1970s resulted in the economic decline of Zambia, adding to the shortage of food in the country. MCC and the Brethren in Christ churches worked together to ensure access to food for especially vulnerable households such as older adults or families headed by single parents or children. -- <em>Nancy R.

-<h3>Mennonite/Anabaptist Activity in Zambia</h3> Mennonite work beyond that of the [[Mbungano Yabunyina Muli Kristo, Zambia|Mbungano Yabunyina Muli Kristo]] (Brethren in Christ Church) began in Northern Rhodesia in 1962. In the middle of that year two [[Mennonite Central Committee (International)|Mennonite Central Committee ]] (MCC) Teachers Abroad Program (TAP) workers were assigned, under the direction of the bishop of the Brethren in Christ Church in Africa. Both teachers were placed near the capital city of Lusaka at Chipembi Secondary School, one of seven secondary schools operating in northern Rhodesia at that time.
+= Mennonite/Anabaptist Activity in Zambia =
 In October 1964 Zambia received its independence from Great Britain, and the ensuing emphasis on national development included a strong push for more education. A favorable economic situation due in large part to high prices for copper, Zambia's chief export, made possible rapid expansion to 98 secondary schools by 1970. In response the number of personnel increased to 14 by 1966 and to 30 by 1970. These workers continued to work in church-related (including one BIC) secondary schools in central Zambia. The MCC program expanded in 1967 with the placement of two [[Pax|Pax]] volunteers. In the following years [[Pax|Pax]] personnel were assigned as maintenance workers at the Brethren in Christ hospital at Macha and at two other church-related farm training institutes. In 1970 two teachers were placed at David Livingstone Teacher Training College, an institution of the Christian Council of Zambia (CCZ).
