Welcome to the Zambian Children's Fund website.

This has been a great year for the Chishawasha Children’s Home! We finished two more houses; built and stocked a hen house and now have 130 laying hens; started teaching sewing and carpentry skills; finished the second and third wings of our primary school; and our gardens continue to thrive and supply us with most of the fruits and vegetables we need. We now have 65 orphaned children in seven houses and space to grow into the twelve classrooms in our school.

And while the U.S. economy experiences challenges, the price of food in Zambia continues to be extremely high, and the price of copper (the only resource in Zambia) has dropped by more than 50%. Even though some progress is being made in the fight against AIDS, malaria has now become the number one killer of children and adults in Africa.

In 2008, we started a sponsorship program for donors who would like a closer connection with a Chishawasha child. Please go to Sponsor a Child for more information and to learn how to become a sponsor. In addition, you may also become an honorary Grandparent through our Ambuya Project.

We are committed to raising and educating orphaned children in Zambia. We count on your help to do this. Please, won’t you join us in our effort to give life and hope to the children of Zambia? A donation of any size can make a difference.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or for more information. Thank you for your continued support and best wishes for 2009!
