Transform Lives – Starting with Your Own

Join the Global Empathy Project’s Cactus Animal Shelter Today
Have you ever felt the urge to make a meaningful difference? To be part of something greater than yourself? At the Global Empathy Project, we believe that change doesn’t begin with grand gestures — it begins with you.

By volunteering at the Cactus Animal Shelter in Lusaka, you’re not just helping vulnerable animals and uplifting local communities — you're joining a movement rooted in empathy, action, and transformation. Whether you're walking a rescued dog, feeding orphaned kittens, helping at our community clinics, or assisting with our outreach programmes, every task becomes part of a much larger mission: to build a kinder, more connected world.

Why Volunteer With Us?
 
Hands-On Animal Care: Work directly with over 300 rescued cats, dogs, and other animals who need love, healing, and human connection.
Make a Real Impact: Support local youth, families, and communities through our integrated welfare, education, and empowerment programmes.
Grow Personally & Professionally: Gain valuable experience, build lifelong friendships, and discover your own capacity for compassion and leadership.
Flexible Commitment: Whether you can give a few hours a week or dive in full-time, we’ll find the right fit for you.
 
Who Can Join?

We welcome volunteers from all walks of life — students, retirees, working professionals, travellers, and animal lovers alike. All you need is a willing heart, a bit of time, and a desire to make a difference.
