Lusaka Indian Ladies Association
Celebrating culture, serving community, in the heart of Lusaka.
LILA brings Indian women in Lusaka together through cultural events, charitable work, and the bonds of shared heritage
What we do
Three threads run through everything at LILA.
Cultural Events
From the colours of Holi to the lights of Diwali, from classical dance to festive feasts, we honour the traditions passed down through generations. At LILA, Indian culture is not a memory. It is something we actively celebrate, share, and pass on
Charity Work
Rooted in the Indian value of seva, selfless service, LILA has always believed that a community is only as strong as what it gives. We fundraise, volunteer, and support local causes, honouring both our Indian heritage and our Zambian home
Community Activities
Built on the Indian tradition of togetherness, LILA is a sisterhood that understands the unique experience of carrying one culture in your heart while building a life in another. Here, you are never far from home
Our Mission
The Lusaka Indian Ladies Association exists to keep Indian heritage alive, build meaningful bonds between women, and give back to the community we call home. Proudly connected to the Indian High Commission of Lusaka, LILA stands as a symbol of the enduring relationship between India and Zambia. Through cultural celebrations, charitable work, and the simple warmth of coming together, we honour our roots while embracing the country that has welcomed us for generations
