Meet Henry!

Henry is 15 and will be starting Grade 8 in 2025. Henry’s favorite subject is Maths and when he grows up, he wants to become a soldier! Unfortunately, Henry’s parents dropped out of school at a young age and thus did not complete their education. They therefore struggle to obtain jobs to support Henry and his 4 siblings.

  • 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.
