Ambassador Barbara Chilangwa (Zambia Board Chairman)

Executive Advisor for Government Relations, CAMFED

Ambassador Chilangwa’s current position as the Executive Advisor for Government Relations of CAMFED was predated by her positions as Ambassador to the Republic of Angola, National Director of CAMFED Zambia, and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education of Zambia, among other ministries. Ambassador Chilangwa followed Lubuto’s work since 2012 when she joined Advisory Board. She was excited to learn learned about the different opportunities the children at the Lubuto libraries have, including reading, working on computers, listening to stories in their local languages, playing, and just being children. This excitement has continued through her role as a member of the Zambia Board.

“I was awed by the number of children inside and around the library area, an indication that there was a force or magnet drawing the children to the area and going inside the library. There was no doubt in my mind as to why this was the case.”
