Children's Town Malambanyama

"All children are equal regardless of their social status. Given the right environment, they can develop and make a difference to their family, community, country and the world!"
- Moses Zulu, Project Leader

In Zambia, 15% of children (1.1m) are Orphans & 75,000 of these children live on the street. 25% have no home - they sleep on the streets or live in market places. Due to HIV/AIDS and the breakdown of traditional family support systems, 33% of Orphans live with elderly grandparents. Because of this their basic rights are not guaranteed - needs for shelter, security, food, health and education are not met leading many children into prostitution, drugs and other harmful & dangerous practices.

Children's Town is a residential education and vocational training institution in the African village of Malambanyama, Zambia, designed to give some of these children basic life skills and hope for the future.

Each child goes through a five-year program in which they are taught life skills, responsibility, values and self-care. They graduate with vocational training in agriculture or crafts and business management, as well as a ninth-grade diploma.
