Out on the Zambezi River in Zambia lies a small island community — a place many may have never seen or heard of, yet where countless lives quietly unfold each day. Mothers with young children and babies, fathers, the elderly, and the sick — these are people of resilience. Their spirit remains strong, but the weight of their need is heavy.
These are the people often overlooked, left behind, or forgotten. But not by us – These are our people. For years, we’ve stood alongside this community, offering support in the form of life’s most basic needs – clean water, shelter, and food – the very things many of us are fortunate enough to never worry about.
For these families, the essentials are a daily struggle, not a guarantee. At the heart of their daily survival is Mealie Meal, the staple food of Zambia.
We are reaching out today with a simple yet powerful request: help us provide Mealie Meal to those who need it most. Whether it’s one bag or ten, every contribution makes a real difference. Because for someone out there, that single bag means warmth in their belly, strength in their body, and hope in their heart. But it’s not just about feeding the body – we must also feed the mind.
Out on the island, there is a nursery school laying the foundation for the education of young minds.
Above is a picture of the nursery school children. Their bright faces are full of potential – but they are in urgent need of basic school supplies: books, pencils, school bags, and other essentials. These young ones are eager to learn, to grow, and to dream.
With your help, we can ensure their education doesn’t end before it even begins.
“To be poor is a curse in this country. I pray for God to come down and save us. We don’t need politicians but the mighty Lord. Enough is enough. We are poor but we are also human.” – This is the cry of an African woman living in extreme poverty.
Let us not forget the forgotten.
