The AIDS epidemic and lack of health care has effected hundreds of thousands of children in Zambia. The remaining caregivers cannot afford school fees. Children through grade 6 must buy uniforms, approved shoes, books and pay fees. If they don’t have those fees they don’t go to school. There is also pressure by the caregivers to have the children work in the markets, caring for younger children, in a quarry or worse.

 

Education is the key to their survival, as well as to the country’s stability. Girls’ education is especially critical.

 

Communities Without Borders (CWB) works through 2 social agencies in Lusaka, who identify the children, find slots in schools, and see that they stay in school. In the past 8 years the numbers have grown and CWB currently supports 1500 children in elementary and secondary school.

 

Each year CWB leads a visit from the US partners (now 8 organizations) to support and enrich the program. Over the past 7 years we have given teacher training and workshops, sponsored health clinics, and supported nutrition programs for children who otherwise would only eat 1x a day.

 

Your donations at work:

$10 buys a textbook

$25 buys a school uniform

$50 pays for Tree of Life psychosocial counseling

$150 sends a child to secondary school for a year

$300 buys a subject book for a class of 30

 

Please join us September 26 for an evening of food and fellowship. Displays, crafts, and activities for kids. Bring the whole family, friends and neighbors! Come hungry, leave happy!

Donations of any amount graciously accepted!

News from Sekelela

To reduce crowding during the June-through-August term, schools in Zambia were open only for students in grades 7, 9, and 12, who were preparing for exams. They will start writing their exams next week. CWB recently repaired and added desks at the Sekelela Community School, making it possible for students to maintain a safe distance. […]
