Meet Albert!

Albert is 15 and will start grade 10 in 2025. His favorite subject is Social Science and he enjoys playing chess, reading, and listening to music. When he grows up he wants to become a pilot! Unfortunately, Albert’s parents split up in 2006 due to being in an abusive marriage. He now lives with his mother and his sibling. His mother was orphaned and thus dropped out of school at a young age. She now struggles to find a secure job to be able to financially support her family.

  • Poverty In Zambia

    Unlike most places in the developed world, education is not free to the public in Zambia. All students are required to pay school fees as well as purchase a school uniform, shoes, and other supplies, which many families cannot afford. In times of crisis, impoverished children are especially vulnerable and face several challenges. Girls who are unable to attend school have a high risk of becoming pregnant or being forced into marriage, whereas boys have a high risk of underage drinking, smoking, and becoming involved in petty crime. By sponsoring a child you are giving them access to life-changing programs and support.
