Overview

We are excited to share the progress made through your generous support! The Charity Centre for Children and Youth Development (CCCYD) has continued to make a lasting impact by supporting 300 orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) in Zambia. Through our integrated model of formal education, STEM education, and vocational skills training, we are building pathways to a brighter future for children who would otherwise be left behind.

Key Achievements This Reporting Period

1. Access to Education:
Out of the 300 children:

  • 200 are currently enrolled in primary and secondary school with school supplies and tuition support.
  • CCCYD continues to work closely with schools, caregivers, and community volunteers to ensure learners remain in school, especially girls at risk of dropping out.

2. STEM Education Expansion:

  • 60 children (majority girls) have been enrolled in our newly launched Girls in STEM Initiative, receiving lessons in computer literacy, basic coding, robotics, and scientific exploration.
  • We received support from the Australian Government (Harare DAP) to procure laptops and power generator, helping reduce the digital divide in Solwezi.

3. Vocational Skills Training:

  • 60 adolescents (including teen mothers and out-of-school youth) are undergoing hands-on training in tailoring, carpentry, knitting, and financial literacy.
  • We have integrated entrepreneurship and life skills education into our training, preparing youth for sustainable self-employment and income generation.

Challenges

  • High demand for support continues to outpace our resources.
  • Limited technical staff for vocational and STEM training.
  • Rising costs of school materials and transport .

What’s Next

  • Construction of additional training rooms to accommodate more learners.
  • Strengthening our mentorship and alumni engagement to ensure long-term impact.
  • Expanding the STEM curriculum to include more advanced ICT and practical science kits.

Thank You
