Zambia’s first circus company!
We are a social enterprise that offers unique entertainment and that equips young people from marginalized backgrounds with circus and life skills while providing educational and employment opportunities. We do this so young people can become change makers in their community. We also serve the creative community at our creative hub where they can come together, research and showcase.

Why social circus?
The majority of our founders are circus artists who were born and raised in Chibolya, a notorious ghetto in Lusaka. Their circus talent transformed their lives and Circus Zambia is a way to give back. Interested to hear more? Watch this Al Jazeera feature!
