Our Women Who Run The Project

 Dear Friends, 

Did you know that Chikumbuso is more than a school?

Did you know that we are more than just 500 students in class and 100+ in college?

In the past 18 years we have grown considerably and now we are educating and changing the lives of over 600 students who would never otherwise gone to school.  We have fed them and clothed them, now many are out in the workforce.

Yet we also do more!

  • We house 18 girls in a Safe Haven, caring for their every need.
  • We have a youth micro enterprise project where tailoring skills are taught and a workshop brings in a livelihood.  Chikumbuso has trained over 300 youth and single moms.
  • We have a widows micro enterprise where beautiful bags and other items are crocheted by these women who have become professionals.
  • Chikumbuso supports and feeds 18 grandmothers in their homes and sends caregivers to watch over them.

And you are a part of all of this! Thank you for your regular support and faithfulness to our projects.
