Families for Children Zambia
working in partnership with Zambian Communities to support orphans and vulnerable children affected by AIDS
- Our aim is to support orphans and vulnerable children whose lives have been shattered by the death of their parents through AIDS
- Focussing on the welfare and education of the poorest and most vulnerable children we strive to keep them in their own communities and to support the networks that already exist.
- The strength of the projects is the commitment given by local people and volunteers of their time, skills and moral support. We in turn, assist them with practical support, resources and training to develop new skills that they may achieve independence.
- We are currently working in partnership with two communities coping with extreme poverty. These are Kantolomba (more about Kantolomba Community School) township near Ndola in the Copperbelt and Umwana Kasembe (more about Umwana Kasembe) in Freedom township, Chilanga, just sounth of Lusaka.
- There are no paid staff in the UK and almost all our funds go directly to Zambia to those that really need them.
