Inspired by the teachings of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, the Zambian Carmelites emphasize the importance of silence and prayer as avenues to connect with God.
The Carmelites have made education one of their primary focuses. They believe that informed and educated individuals are essential for the development of a society.
Recognizing the socio-economic challenges faced by many in Zambia, the Carmelites engage in various social justice initiatives.
The Zambian Carmelites actively engage in evangelization efforts, working to spread the Gospel message through personal interaction, community service, and spiritual retreats.
