Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Illiteracy, overpopulation and abject poverty. We build community schools based on sustainable revenue models (e.g. agri-businesses, micro-enterprises) while honoring the cultural differences and heritage of the communities with whom we partner.

Activities

We build community schools so that vulnerable children can have access to a free, quality education. To ensure local support and long-term success, we provide economic opportunities to community members to achieve financial independence and hope.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Over 500 students will benefit at Chimoza & Mucinshi Community Schools combined. The new Mucinshi School will employ a sustainable model that teaches students to preserve and uphold indigenous arts while providing a world-class education in Zambia.

Project Message

Standing on the plains of Africa, seeing the acres of orphans, even strong souls have despaired. But you have seen the children reach for hands no longer there, and extended your hands, full of hope.
- Mary Fisher, Author, Artist & Special Representative for UNAIDS
