Zambia Orphans Aid UK - ZOA-UK Changing the future for children. Empowering through education. Supporting vulnerable communities through our partners. Learn how YOU can help.

Zambia is one of the most deprived and unequal countries and has been hugely affected by the social consequences of AIDS. The country has approximately 1.2 million orphans and other vulnerable children, in a population of just 20 million. Too many Zambian children cannot access or complete their education. We support children to access and remain in education, whenever possible. We also fund school feeding and development programmes. ZOA-UK reaches vulnerable children by working in partnership with grassroots community groups and schools. We also seed-fund these partners’ income generating activities to help them move away from reliance on foreign aid.

Food is part of education.

Nutritious school meals help children focus, participate in lessons and make the most of their education.

As Mainess, a student at Twavwane School, explains, school meals also matter because some children have no food waiting for them at home.

This World Food Day, we recognise the important role food plays in learning, health and wellbeing. Because every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and reach their potential.

At Twatasha School in Zambia, access to the right textbooks is helping children learn with greater confidence, participation and independence.

For many learners, especially children with disabilities, having the right learning materials makes a huge difference. As Dorothy, a learner at the school, shared: “Now I can learn with confidence.”

At ZOA UK, we believe literacy is a fundamental human right for all, and every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

Nshima is a staple food in Zambia, made from maize meal and usually served with vegetables, beans, fish or meat.

This school lunch of fish, nshima and vegetables is one of the everyday basics that helps pupils return to the classroom full of energy for the afternoon ahead.

Sometimes, supporting education begins with something very simple: making sure children have eaten.

Learning is easier when the basics are in place.

A school uniform. A nutritious meal. The healthcare a child needs to take part in lessons.

Through our Zambian partners, ZOA provides practical support that helps children feel ready to learn and part of their school community.

These everyday things can make a lasting difference, helping children stay in school and build a stronger foundation for their future.

Once basic needs are met, vulnerable children and young people need more support to keep them in school.

Empowering school staff with counselling skills (psychosocial training) is a cost-effective, local solution.

After the death of her mother, Exillia was raised by her father.

He encouraged her education, but struggled financially to send her to school beyond primary level.

With the support of ZOA-UK, Exillia graduated from the University of Zambia with a degree in veterinary medicine.

ZOA was formed in response to the AIDS crisis which left many children in Zambia orphaned or in single parent families.

Please help us support vulnerable children and young people.

When families struggle to make ends meet, children are often pulled out of school to help earn an income. The cost is high: lost learning, fewer opportunities, and a future shaped by hardship rather than choice.

By removing barriers to education (such as school fees, uniforms, books, and meals) we can help families keep their children in school and invest in their future.

On World Day Against Child Labour, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive.
