Zengamina

Zengamina is a small hydroelectric power generation plant near Kalene Hill, Ikelenge District in northwestern Zambia.

[4] The Zengamina project aimed to provide a reliable electrical supply with a small hydroelectrical station on the Zambezi River at a fast-moving point close to its source.

[6] In 2001 Dr Peter Gill, an orthopaedic surgeon in the United Kingdom, launched a trust to fund the project.

[7] The Zambian government provided some seed funding, and church groups in Britain managed to raise another $2.5 million to cover construction costs.

[2] The project was initiated by the North West Zambia Development Trust, a small charity associated with the mission station at Kelene Hill.

A local community school and church were also built using materials, transport and expertise provided for the hydro project.
