Mr. Mulafulafu has been touring southwestern Ontario meeting with members of the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace and Canadians in general. Mr Mulafulafu took us through the history of Zambia which illustrated how the country has suffered from the current global economic order and compared this reality with the post-colonial years where the state provided education and healthcare for all. Today, Caritas Zambia seeks to stop corruption, rebuild civil society, and create a process that enables Zambians to control the country’s resources and the political and economic processes.
