Poverty-Stricken Communities Need Help: Chasse Consulting Executive Gives Aid in Africa

July 25, 2008 - PRLog -- AUSTIN, TX., – In the towns of Lusaka, Mbala and Ndola, many families and children lack the basic resources needed to survive and are struggling with the growing AIDS epidemic. Located in Zambia, Africa, these communities are in dire need of assistance. Together with World Vision, a company dedicated to helping impoverished children, the West Hills Presbyterian Church (WHPC) wants to empower the people of Lusaka, Mbala, and Ndola to step boldly into a future of health, education, and HIV awareness.

A team from the WHPC recently returned from these communities in Zambia where they helped address the ongoing humanitarian crisis.  They participated in community development projects and began discussions on how to educate local residents about the HIV epidemic. They also wanted to determine partnership opportunities within local villages.

One member of the team was the President/CEO of Chasse Consulting and humanitarian, Beverly Chasse. She stated, “While I looked forward to experiencing a different lifestyle, I feared the realization that there is only so much we can do to help with not only the basics to survive, but also fight the spread and stigma of AIDS. The needs of the children alone, especially the orphans, are overwhelming. This is something that we as a nation have to commit to. That is why as a company, Chasse Consulting continues to be dedicated to philanthropic causes globally.”

Specifically, Chasse visited local villages, orphanages and schools, with an additional focus on a women’s conference at Northrise University in Ndola.  There she worked with local women to help empower them through their daily struggles by assisting them in understanding their inner-strength and value within their community.

Additionally, along with the WHPC Africa sponsor, Chasse met with key leaders at the university to understand how she can contribute to HIV awareness worldwide and help encourage learning throughout these three communities. She says, “Chasse Consulting gives 10% of its time to humanitarian causes and this trip to Zambia is the right one.” By meeting with key leaders, Chasse Consulting hopes that in time, the company can devise strategies to provide an online university for residents in border towns who cannot attend classes as well as help create online learning to fight the need for AIDS awareness.
