Mission
We help developing communities in rural Zambia through education and health by: Financing new school facilities, donating books and educational materials, funding wells and boreholes and collaborating with NGO's and local organizations.
Program accomplishments
- Student Sponsorship through Project Luangwa: 15 Secondary School students and 2 University.Families in communities living in poverty in rural Zambia struggle to send their children on to secondary school. Although the government now covers tuition, students still need Transportation to the secondary school, which is usually far from their small, rural villageRoom and board while at the secondary schoolUniforms, shoes, socks, exercise books, pens and pencilsAs pupils progress through the grades they also need maths sets and scientific calculatorsAll of this is beyond the financial means of almost all rural families who survive by subsistence farming.This program provides students with the tools and materials needed to go through secondary school, rather than being forced to stay home with all which that entails (working on the farm, having families as teenagers and having no hope for change).Expenses $23,005
- Preschool and Elementary School through Project Luangwa: Many schools continued to suffer this year due to unseasonable storms and an unrelenting drought. With our funding in 2025 Project Luangwa was able to: Provide 7 teacher salaries and a night watchman for Kapita Primary SchoolHelp with the following:oDesk repairs at Digitruck LearningoRoof repairs at Mphoma SchooloStructural crack repairs at Nsefu PrimaryExpenses $9,531
- Makolekole boreholes:The dry season lasts almost eight months, when no rain falls and the rivers dry up, forcing local women and children to walk up to 3 miles a day to find water. By providing clean, fresh water, we are keeping them from danger of attacks from wild animals, protecting them from water-borne illnesses and allowing the children time to attend schools or make-shift classes in the wild.We work closely with Makolekole, a locally run drilling company with a small rig which can access remote villages and clinics. We financed 3 boreholes from individual donors in 2025, changing the lives of approximately 1,250 people. Another borehole was installed under a matching program based in Las Vegas, Nevada.Expenses $20,000
- Vocational Training School: Chikowa Youth Development Centre is a vocational training school, preparing young people as carpenters, electricians, auto-mechanics, masons and most recently cooks and tailors! We donated $19,000 for teacher salaries at the school and $1000 for their reforestation program.Expenses $20,018
