Mission
To provide basic, secondary, and college education to over 1,000 students in the country of Zambia; to provide needy student scholarships, orphans' care, medical care, and conduct health clinics in remote areas to teach better hygiene, and protection against HIV/AIDS and malaria; and to drill water wells to provide clean drinking water to the people in Zambia, Africa
Program accomplishments
- CLINIC/MEDICINE/MEDICAL OUTREACHES AND ORPHANS CARE A medical hospital has been built at the Mission to serve the Mission, schools, and villages in the area. For many years a group of medical doctors, dentists, eye doctors, nurses, and lay persons from the USA have traveled to Zambia at their own expense to conduct medical clinics in the bush and villages; in a typical year, about 75 from the US join about 150 Zambian volunteers. Hospitals are few and far between in Zambia and most of the people cannot go to a doctor for medical treatment. Between 7,500 and 15,000 Zambians are treated by medical personnel during this short time period. This is a service program and no revenue is received.ORPHANS CARE Because of malaria and HIV/AIDS, there are thousands and thousands of orphans in Zambia. Large homes have been built at the Mission to care for some of these orphans. The need is so great and this is only a drop in the bucket to provide what is needed, but it is a drop. This is a service and no revenue is received.RADIO STATION Very few people in Zambia have televisions, but almost everyone has a radio. The radio is used as a teaching tool and is especially helpful in getting public health messages to the people. This is a service program and no revenue is received.Expenses $3,305,333
- EDUCATION AND NEEDY STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Most of our students are from the bush or villages in Zambia. They are very poor and many of them are orphans and live with extended family members who have no money for their education. The Needy Student Scholarship Program provides all their school fees (room, board, and tuition). Because education is so valued in this Third World Country, these students have proven to do very well. They study hard and are grateful for the opportunity to go to school. This is a service program and no revenue is received.
- CLEAN WATER PROJECTS/CONSTRUCTION/EQUIPMENT/VEHICLES One of the many needs in Zambia is available clean drinking water. Several deep water wells have been drilled and equipped with pumps in some of the villages. Purification facilities and storage tanks have been constructed to purify and store water from lakes in the area. New dorms for secondary and college students have been constructed and others have been remodeled. Classrooms and the cafeteria have been remodeled. These are service projects to better serve the students and people in the villages and no revenue is received.
