Kapita School hosts a spontaneous football game! A lo español! Thanks to our friends from Spain, we had a Valencia versus Villarreal game! What a great moment, watching these boys take off with the ball. And the shouting from the sidelines felt almost like a game here in a Spanish stadium.

The uniforms have stayed at Kapita school and we hope they will enjoy some games in the future with their new kit.

A big thank you to the Villarreal football team for the donation and to Chimo Iborra, a firm Valencia fan.

This is the first step in setting up cooperation between doctors from Valencia and the Mambwe District of Zambia. We all hope for the best going forward. Thank you to both the Zambian and Spanish doctors for their interest and dedication to creating something new and positive for all.

And thank you to Dr. Carlos Sala, Dr. Maria Franch, Dr. Guillermo Pou and Registered Nurse/Pharmacist Chon Llorens Latorre for your initiative.

And thank you Dr. George Banda for your warm welcome and interest in collaborating.

Of course!! We are delighted to support all the work you do at Project Luangwa

And we welcome onboard our new sponsors in the US, UK and Spain! Here's to educating todays youth! Here's to giving children opportunities for a better future!

💛 A huge thank you to our incredible sponsors 💛

We are delighted to share that, thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we have successfully sponsored 22 new students this year! This brings us to 98 children now supported at secondary school through Project Luangwa.

This is a remarkable achievement, and one that would simply not be possible without the kindness, generosity, and commitment of our sponsors. Each sponsorship represents more than school fees, it is an investment in a young person’s future, their confidence, and their opportunity to thrive.

We would like to offer particular thanks to Livingstone Foundation, who continue to be stalwart supporters of our education work. Their invaluable and consistent support has enabled us to reach so many children who would otherwise be unable to continue their education.

To every individual, family, and organisation who has chosen to support a student this year, thank you. Your generosity is changing lives, strengthening families, and helping young people in the Luangwa Valley build brighter futures.

We are deeply grateful.

We have nine children left to sponsor and hope that YOU might be the one to step forward and support one of them reach their dream of going on to secondary school, something that most of us take for granted.

Project Luangwa has been sponsoring children to attend school since 2010. For the vast majority of that time, school ceased to be free after Grade 7, meaning that children from disadvantaged backgrounds could not attend school after primary. This issue also disproportionately affected girls, as limited income households would usually choose to send the eldest boy to school, if they could afford to send any.

From 2022 the new Zambian government ceased the charging of school fees for all grades. Whilst this has made school more accessible for low income families, children from vulnerable communities still struggle to attend. Despite school fees being free, they still cannot afford boarding fees, meaning that many need to walk vast distances, and often have to complete chores or remain at home to support parents in labouring in the field. They also cannot afford the basics such as school uniforms, pens, pencils or shoes.

Project Luangwa sponsors over 140 children to secondary school every year, and provides them and their families with the financial support they sorely need. Education is shown to be the best way to improve not only the student's economic prospects, but also their wider community.

We choose our sponsored students in January. They are the best and the brightest of their grade with the highest test scores and the highest chances to succeed. The children are vulnerable, most having lost one or both of their parents and your sponsorship gives them a chance at a better life.

If you have read this far, it is my sincere hope that you are interested in supporting a well-deserving student. Please send us a private message ASAP as the schools begin soon!!

We would love to welcome you into our Sponsorship Family!

Thank you to our donors!! It is due to your generous donations that more and more adolescent girls are able to continue in school!

With a pack of Ufulu pads, these girls do not have to miss school several days every month, they do not fall behind in their studies and do not end up dropping out. The pack contains 6 washable sanitary pads which can last up to two years.

YOU, our donors, are making it possible for these girls to CONTINUE STUDYING!!! Hurray!!! And an enormous thank you! ❤️
