We have a passionate team who all share the same vision; improving access to quality healthcare for people living in rural communities in Zambia.
In October 2024, Nkandu Chikonde joined OCA as Chief Executive Officer to strengthen our vision to strengthen impact, deepen partnerships, and position the organisation for sustainable growth. OCA is looking to a future of an expanded strategic footprint while reinforcing operational discipline and governance.
OCA has prioritised investing in people, supporting staff development, clarifying roles, and building leadership capacity across both the UK and Zambia teams. Through a culture grounded in accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning, Nkandu has steered the organisation into a new phase of growth, marked not only by programme expansion but by measurable progression, strengthened systems, and a renewed sense of shared purpose.
“It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life to see our hopes realised through the efforts of the UK and Zambian staff and the other trustees. I’ve learned the hard way in business that good ideas aren’t worth much without dedicated people and hard work”.
Sacha, Trustee
