We cannot let this season of thanks and Giving Tuesday slip by without letting you know how grateful we are for you; our friends, encouragers and supporters.

LUKA International Foundation was founded in 2009 by a group of idealist friends that believed in a dream just enough that they could make a difference in the lives of kids in Zambia. Guess what? It worked! We have been dedicated to this work for 12 years and we are making an impact in Zambia through education and health initiatives.

LUKA is powered 100% by volunteers on the U.S. side. Your donation goes directly into programs. I can't think of another organization that does business this way. We are going strong and we are as committed as ever to continue this work.

In 2021, donations have done incredible work:
$3439 has paid school tuition for 2500 orphans and vulnerable children
$5700 has provided COVID prevention in community schools for 2500 orphans and vulnerable children
$13,058 has paid university tuition for our education, nursing and pre-med scholars

We are in this for the long game. By investing in health and education, young Zambians will be empowered to impact the country's growth and development. That means changed lives, which is what motivates us to continue. We are so thankful for the means to do this work with you.

If you are planning your Giving Tuesday gifts or your year-end giving, please consider supporting this work. We cannot do this without you and absolutely no gift is too small. You can make your tax-deductible donation here: http://www.lukafoundation.org/page/info/donate

Our sincere thanks for your support 💚

We were saddened to receive word of the first case of COVID-19 in Zambia this past week. We wish we could rush to our friends to help, but as we all know, we cannot.

We have formed our immediate response to help communicate reliable prevention information, electronically.

By sharing this information, you can help us save lives.

We truly are in this together.

Since 2009 LUKA International Foundation has been building relationships in Zambia. The 2000+ kids that attend the Kanyama and Maanu Mbwami Community Schools are relying on us to send help. We believe this is our work to do and we need you with us. No gift is too small. Please visit www.lukafoundation.org to promise your recurring support today.

We spent the last 15 days collaborating with friends and partners on ways to reduce the impact of extreme poverty on orphans and vulnerable children in Zambia. We have come up with some really solid answers to problems and the work has already started in response to the initial survey of villages in the catchment area surrounding our partner training center in the Chipongwe / Kafue area that we completed on Saturday June 29.
We are more hopeful than ever about the work before us and so thankful to have the expertise and dedication of our partners in Zambia including Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Zambia and the Church of the Nazarene Zambia.

We are returning to Zambia this week and look forward to the warm welcome from our friends. We will visit familiar places and see the work that continues daily by our partners. Their work is incredibly humbling and I am so thankful that we are able to partner and see the impact of their work in the eyes of thousands of kids in disadvantaged communities.
