WHAT WE DO

While Zambia is a beautiful land – home to the largest waterfall in the world, beautiful lakes, and amazing wildlife – it is also struggling under the burden of poverty. High unemployment, frequent drought, and the pandemic spread of HIV and AIDS are all barriers to prosperity. Outreach programs focus on the long-term chronic needs of the most impoverished Zambian people. A large focus of the work is improving the agricultural and health skills of those that struggle to grow enough food to feed themselves and find basic access to health care.

RENEWING HOPE: CHANGING STORIES OF POVERTY

“Our lives are very different; we no longer have to stress [to pay] for school fees or even to sell animals. Our fields are more productive, and we all go to sleep every night with food in our stomachs. We are richly blessed.” 

– Sandress Nyirenda, farmer and father
