Kasongo
When we first began working in Kasongo it was an illegal squatter area that fell under the jurisdiction of the Luanshya Council. It had a diverse population of those who were marketers, charcoal burners, and subsistence farmers in what would be considered a peri-urban area.
After some time, and with the cooperation of our core Bridge Committee, we contacted the Luanshya Council and everyone worked together until it was upgraded to a legal settlement in 2006.
As a result of this, Bridge was given the opportunity to purchase land on which to develop our national headquarters.
For further information about what has been accomplished in this place, please read our Track Record.
