Zambia

In April 2006 we launched our Sponsor a Child scheme in partnership with Zambia YMCA. Children in this region face a daily struggle due to chronic poverty and the AIDS pandemic. Many are classed as double orphans having lost both their parents as a result of AIDS or other serious illness. We want to help children in this region have a future and not only help provide food and clothing for them but to assist with their education - helping to change their lives and give them hope for the future.

21 orphans are now sponsored through the scheme. 20 more are on a waiting list. Download the Child Sponsorship Flyer (right) or contact International Projects, Nottinghamshire YMCA, 61b Mansfield Road, Nottingham NG1 3FN. Tel: 0115 915 6950 or email us at international@nottsymca.org

We are also fundraising for sports kit for Peer Educators in Chibombo, and supporting the start of a micro-finance scheme in partnership with Zambia YMCA to help the local community in Chibombo become self-sustaining.
