In 2014, Dr Mwamba Sichande established a veterinary mentorship programme to support the next generation of veterinarians. He provides national and international students with detailed insight into his veterinary work and shares the essential skills required to be a vet in a challenging and remote area of Zambia. Dr Sichande frequently mentors Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust Aspiring Conservation Leader students and for four years, provided mentorship to a University of Zambia veterinary student, Dr Cornellius Phiri, who is now a certified veterinarian.
