In the last report, we shared how children and families enrolled in our programs are role models/leaders and entrepreneurs and this continues to be the case. In addition, a few older children, who have graduated high school, come back to lead workshops for younger children.
Our "Safe Park" program is open to all children from the community, and families look forward to Saturday or "Safe Park" mornings. The children have a safe space to play and interact with peers and older children and adults, while they watch their children learn and play, appreciate the opportunity to interact with our health care team and ask questions. In addition, counseling and educational support are provided. For the community, this program is a haven for a few hours every week.
Thank you for giving children the opportunity to learn and play.

Children are Learning Computer Skills

An educational workshop in progress
In the last report, we shared how children and families enrolled in our programs are role models/leaders and entrepreneurs. One of the reasons for this success is that families can take advantage of our computer lab located in the community. This lab continues to provide structured lessons on basic computer skills and access to the internet to school-age children and adults. Over the past 18 months more than 500 children have learnt basic computer skills that motivate them to stay in school and improve school performance. All students start with learning basic Windows skills and progress to master Word, PowerPoint, email, and internet searches. Successful learners receive a certificate on completion. In addition, a few students have started mentoring their peers, allowing us to identify and nurture potential peer educators. Adults are learning to navigate the web, and women are learning additional ways to grow their businesses.
Any investment of funds in this lab provides a significant economic return as children acquire skills that result in better job opportunities. This lab, (the first of its kind anywhere in a slum neighborhood in Luska), is more than about literacy. It brings the world to families and challenges stereotypes of what happens in poor urban neighborhoods in Africa.
Thank you for giving the gift of play and learning to children in Zambia.

Our Safe Park Program is a Community Asset

Power of Love's "Safe Park" program continues to provide children with a safe place to play and learn on Saturday mornings. Children play Zambian games, attend workshops related to health, and have fun interacting with their peers. The caregivers of children receive information on how to take care of infections and are provided with referrals to clinics/agencies that provide the services they need.
At a time when global funding for health programs faces uncertainty, we are heartened to share that Power of Love’s work is growing. Children and families in Zambia continue to receive the care they need, and new families are being added to our programs every month.
Thank you for partnering with POL in ensuring that children learn and grow normally.
