The Association for Zambians in Belgium (Pamodzi) is grateful to our project partners and donors who have made it possible to carry out the good work of supporting Compassion Orphanage in Zambia through out this year.
2021 was a challenging but promising year as we tried to slowly get out the corona pandemic. Our aim was to complete the structure of a modern ablution block at the orphanage . This project has been slowed down by tight covid 19 restrictions which were put in place by the Zambian government. This made it difficult for our dedicated community workers and volunteers to do a lot of work at the orphanage in the period April until September (the dry season). We hope this will pick at a faster rate in 2022.
However this break was an opportunity that children at the orphanage used for bonding and taking part in activities that helped them to learn new things. With the help of some funds available the orphanage caregivers started giving cooking, sewing and hair braiding lessons for the children at the orphanage . The orphanage was able to buy cooking utensils and created recipes which has encouraged the children to learn how to cook.
In the course of next year, the orphanage plans to buy a sewing machine for the children who are interested in learning how to sew.
We hope that travel restrictions be relaxed so that our team can be able to visit the orphanage again and see the impact of the support of our donors and the bright future that our work will bring.
There are not enough words to say thank you to our dedicated team members and our donors. Every donation touches the hearts of Compassion orphanage in a unique way. We are happy and committee to work with our partners
