Goal: Send 100 children to school

About this Mission Project

Students at the WellSpring of Faith & Hope Community School in Zambia are fun loving, hard working and eager to learn.  But like so many girls their age, without an education, they face a certain future of early pregnancy, illiteracy and abject poverty.  They are at risk for sexual exploitation.   

The WellSpring School gives girls, orphans and other vulnerable children, a chance at an education that will lift them and their families out of endless poverty. 

Girls who can’t attend school work hard fetching water and caring for younger siblings.   There are no parks or playgrounds – just dust in the dry season and mud in the wet season. 

You can help young children from 80 families to receive a uniform, shoes, school supplies and one hot meal a day. They’ll get a good Christian education and learn to read enabling them to pass the government’s exams.  WellSpring provides a safe place where they can learn, have fun, and be educated about health, hygiene and HIV. 

Mission Project Specifics

This project seeks to raise a total of $11,000 by 2013 to purchase school supplies, uniforms, shoes and 1 hot meal a day for 100 children.  The purpose is to provide an education for more than 80 families with young children.

This project will be managed by Rev. Mocks Mulenga.  The project is expected to improve the overall economic level of the community by reducing teen pregnancy, raising literacy rates, keeping kids off the streets, and improving health at home through health training at school.
