In the heart of Solwezi stands the Philip Pascall Chapel & Hall at Trident College, a beacon of education, faith, and community. This architectural marvel, illuminated against the night sky, serves as a hub for learning, worship, and the arts, bringing together students, educators, and the wider community.
Named in honor of Philip Pascall, the late co-founder and former CEO of First Quantum Minerals (FQM), this facility reflects his unwavering commitment to Zambia’s development. Under his stewardship, FQM transformed from a modest operation to one of the world’s largest copper producers, employing over 20,000 people globally. Beyond business success, Pascall’s legacy is deeply rooted in his philanthropic endeavors, particularly in education and community development. He established programs that improved health, education, and livelihoods in remote areas, embodying a true spirit of corporate citizenship.
The chapel and hall, inaugurated in October 2022, symbolize the fusion of faith, culture, and learning. As Trident College continues to nurture future leaders, this facility stands as a constant reminder of the values Pascall championed: integrity, generosity, and a relentless drive to uplift others.
Solwezi Today Magazine, in its tribute to Pascall, aptly noted that his legacy is not just in the structures he helped build but in the lives he touched and the communities he transformed. His influence will undoubtedly resonate for generations to come.
