Education is indeed the bedrock of social and economic development. We run a community school for orphans and vulnerable children from impoverished settlements around the city of Kitwe as a way of unlocking the doors of opportunities for them. There are currently 350 students enrolled in our school from grade 1 to 9. Whereas most of these children have either lost one or both parents, some of them come from poverty stricken homes whereby a single meal is the order of the day. In order to enable these children concentrate in class, we endearvour to offer them meals whenever they report for school. Apart from this, we also provide school uniforms and shoes to those who may not afford such. Our school is guided by the motto: "Moulding the children into responsible citizens by nourishing them mentally, physically and spiritually through quality and affordable education." Our team of self-motivated and God fearing teachers are guided by this principle to ensure that the cognitive and socio-emotional development of every child is achieved. working together..We work in close collaboration with stakeholders such as the church, local schools, relevant government departments, drop in centres, funders and NGOs.
