Help Provide Education to 300 Children in Need

In order to enhance provision of education during COVID’19 period, the organization during the period under review continued to provide virtual  mentorship to vulnerable children in Zambia. Schools in Zambia abruptly closed on 17th June 2021 due to high cases of COVID'19 and since then all the children are staying home with no access to any form of learning. Therefore, with donations being raised on GlobalGiving platform, the organization is able to buy monthly data bundles to enable the organization connect children to international mentors who are helping children with academic education.  It's our believe that education can't wait and it is based on this theory and conviction that we have adopted this model of learning to continue providing a service to the vulnerable children in Zambia. We have partnered with Village Book Builders who are providing mentors from different parts of the World.  

Education Can't Wait! 

EDUCATE 300 CHILDREN IN NEED

Access to education lies at the heart of any development. Lack of education is both a part of the definition of poverty and a means for its diminution. Education is the driving force behind any strong economy and a prerequisite for social and economic growth. It creates opportunities and provides societies with a better educated and skilled workforce, which is necessary for stimulating development. Education is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty, give people opportunity to improve their lives and raise their voices, promotes harmonious co-existence, improve their health, productivity and foster participation in civil society. The main purpose of education whether formal or informal is to produce people who will be useful members of society.

The project is helping educate over 500 orphans and vulnerable children allowing them to remain in school and improve on their life. This will reduce the burden on guardians who have taken up the responsibilities of taking care of orphans left behind by their relatives and this will also reduce poverty and crime in the community which is on increase as a result of children being found on the street. The fundraising target for this project is $20,000.00 out of which we have raised $3,229 with $16,771 left. This project is helping provide both academic and vocational education to over 300 children in need at Fortune School of Excellence formerly known as Fortune Community School in Solwezi District of Zambia. Zambia has witnessed unprecedented pandemic that has affected the learning at CCCYD. Charity Centre for Children and Youth Development now intends on drilling a borehole at Fortune School of Excellence for access to safe and clean drinking water.
