The Ndola Diocese Justice and Peace Department protects the rights of poor communities in the Copperbelt, one of the poorest and most densely populated parts of Zambia.

The Diocese also organises workshops in schools and parishes to promote human and civil rights, helping people to make their voices heard on issues such as land rights, wages, school and hospital fees or domestic violence.
