Meet Our Founder
Dr. Cosmas Zyaambo
Dr. Zyaambo is a medical doctor and public health expert from Sinazongwe District, Zambia. He is the driving force behind ZCCI — an initiative born from a personal calling to transform the communities he grew up in and beyond.
His research focuses on tobacco use, alcohol consumption, substance abuse, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and HIV across diverse populations. Beyond academia, he has championed community development initiatives including educational scholarships, infrastructure projects, clean water access, and cultural preservation efforts in Sinazongwe and Gwembe.
Dr. Zyaambo is also a former Head of Department for Community and Family Medicine at the University of Zambia's School of Public Health — a role that reinforced his belief that health and community development must go hand in hand.
