- Bahxc3xa1xc3xad_Faith_in_Zambia abstract "The number of followers of the Bahá'í Faith in Zambia was estimated at 162,443 in 2000, or 1.70% of the total population, according to Adherents.com. The site ranks this as the sixteenth-highest national proportion of Bahá'ís in the world. It also ranks Zambia's as the tenth-largest national Bahá'í community in the world in absolute terms, and the fourth-largest in Africa. The Association of Religion Data Archives gives a Bahá'í population of 224,215 in 2005, or 1.7% of Zambia's population. Based on its estimates (which differ to some extent from Adherents.com's), this represents the fifth-highest proportion of Bahá'ís of any country. Both these sources rely on World Christian Encyclopedia, with data from the respective years.In 1952 Eric Manton became the first Bahá'í pioneer to Zambia (then Northern Rhodesia, part of the British-administered Central African Federation) as well as the first to southern Africa when he arrived from Britain in along with his twelve-year-old son. He was joined by Ethna Archibald of New Zealand in 1955. The first native Zambian convert was Christopher Mwitumwa, an ethnic Lozi, in 1954. The first Local Spiritual Assembly was formed in Fisenge in 1956, followed by Assemblies in Kitwe and Luanshya. The Bahá'í Faith in Zambia was at first confined to the Copperbelt Province, but in 1962 it spread to the North-Western Province when seven people declared themselves Bahá'ís at a devotional meeting in Mwinilunga.The William Mmutle Masetlha Foundation (WMMF), an organization founded in 1995 and run by the Zambian Bahá'í community, specializes in providing vocational training and education. The Maseltha Institute, its parent organization, was founded in 1983, and is particularly active in areas such as literacy and primary health care. The WMMF operates the Banani International Secondary School, a residential school for girls focused on agriculture and science, which was listed as one of Africa's top one hundred secondary schools in 2003. The Zambian Bahá'í community is working with FUNDAEC, an organization operated by the Colombian Bahá'í community, to create a vocational and educational program for youth in rural areas.".
