Meet Susan!

Susan is 14 and will be starting Grade 10 in 2025. Susan is doing well at school and excels in English and Computer Studies. She also loves learning about the human body and thus hopes to become a doctor one day!

Unfortunately, Susan’s parents got divorced and neither of them could take care of her, so she now lives with her aunt. Her aunt works hard but struggles to support Susan financially.

You can support Susan’s education today. As they say, “If you educate a girl, you educate an entire generation!”

  • 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.
