At Phoenix Foundation, we see it every day, mothers are the ones holding families and communities together. It’s their love, grit, and quiet sacrifices that get kids to school, keep homes running, and give the next generation a shot at something better.

To every mom out there: thank you. You’re raising leaders, often on little sleep and even less recognition. We see you, and we’re grateful.

Happy Mother’s Day from our family to yours.
💙💛💚

Phoenix Foundation was one of the member organizations that make up the Consortium for Sustainable Development (CSD), a consortium established through the support and collaboration of the Global Fund for Children (GFC).

The Foundation participated in an engagement workshop that brought together key stakeholders, including directorates from the Ministry of Education- Zambia, the Curriculum Development Centre, and the Early Childhood Education Directorate. The workshop focused on strengthening the Indigenous Games Toolkit and exploring effective ways of integrating indigenous games into Early Childhood Education in Zambia.

The Global Fund for Children was represented by its Africa Co-Director, Mr. Bundie Kabanze, whose participation further emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts in advancing culturally responsive and play-based learning approaches.

IMPACT SHARING | 5 OF 5

Investing in People to Deliver Real Impact

As we reflect on our journey, one thing has remained clear, strong programs come from strong people.

Beyond the work we do in education, health, and livelihoods, we have made a deliberate commitment to continuously invest in our team. Because we believe that to serve communities effectively, we must first build the capacity of those leading the work on the ground.

Over the years, our staff have undergone a wide range of trainings from NGO financial sustainability and financial management, to leadership, governance, human rights, and community-led development. We have also embraced emerging areas such as generative AI in education, alongside practical approaches like play-based learning and career support pathways.

These learning opportunities, supported by partners such as the Ford Foundation through the Weaving Resilience Project, Humentum, Team4Tech, Play Action International, Global Fund for Children, Cultivate and Learning Pockets UK have strengthened our ability to plan, manage, and deliver impactful programs.

What this means is simple, we are not just passionate, we are prepared.

We have built a team that understands accountability, values transparency, and has the skills to design and implement projects that respond to real community needs. From managing finances responsibly to delivering innovative learning programs, our capacity continues to grow with every opportunity we embrace.

Because at Phoenix Foundation, we don’t just invest in projects, we invest in people who make those projects work.

And that is why we are confident in our ability to deliver lasting, meaningful impact.

Building Strong Minds, One Young Person at a Time.

As our work grew, we began to notice something deeper.

Even when young people were back in school, many were still struggling silently with stress, peer pressure, family challenges, and uncertainty about the future. Some turned to harmful coping mechanisms, while others simply withdrew.

We knew they needed more than support… they needed a safe space.

That is how our Mental Health and Resilience Club was born... (Thrive Youth Club)

We brought together both in-school and out-of-school youths creating a space where they could come as they are, speak freely, and feel heard. Through regular, structured sessions, young people are learning how to manage their emotions, build resilience, support one another, and develop healthy ways of coping with life’s challenges.

But what makes this initiative truly powerful is what happens beyond the sessions.

The young people themselves are becoming change-makers.

They are taking what they learn and sharing it with their friends, families, and peers, becoming mental health ambassadors in their schools, homes, and communities. Slowly but surely, they are breaking the silence around mental health, reducing stigma, and influencing others to choose healthier paths.

Today, the club is more than just a program.

It is a movement of young people supporting each other, standing up for their wellbeing, and leading change from within.

Because when you empower a young person with the right tools, you don’t just change one life, you create a ripple effect across an entire community.

IMPACT SHARING | 3 OF 5

Working with Communities to Protect Every Child.

From the very beginning, we understood one thing clearly, real change does not happen in isolation. It happens when communities themselves are involved.

After bringing children back to school, we knew we had to go a step further. Many of the challenges affecting children, especially girls were deeply rooted in community beliefs, practices, and systems. So we turned our focus to the people who shape those spaces every day.

We began working closely with faith leaders, teachers, traditional leaders, government institutions such as One Stop Centre and community members, the voices that communities listen to. Through a series of capacity-building sessions held at different times and places, we opened honest conversations around child protection, the dangers of child marriage, and the responsibility leaders carry in safeguarding children.

With the support of Child Marriage Free World, we strengthened this work even further. Together, we trained leaders, engaged communities, and amplified the voices of young people. Some of the survivors we support even had the opportunity to represent their stories on a global stage, participating in discussions linked to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 80), joining the global movement to end child marriage.

We also contributed to a high-level side event convened by Just Rights for Children, in collaboration with the governments of Kenya and Sierra Leone, and supported by the World Jurist Association and Jurists for Children. These moments reminded us that even grassroots voices can influence global conversations.

Back home, the impact was visible.

The same leaders we engaged became champions of change, advocating for girls’ education, speaking against child marriage, and protecting children within their communities and places of worship.

And for the girls who had already been affected, we refused to let their stories end there.

Phoenix Foundation actively supported survivors of child marriage to return to school. We worked closely with families, provided psychosocial support, supplied learning materials, and coordinated with schools to ensure a smooth reintegration.

This is what community transformation looks like.

When leaders speak up.

When communities shift.

When a girl gets a second chance.

And because of your support, these stories continue to grow.

Beyond the Classroom

When we built the , we quickly realized something important…

Giving a child a classroom is powerful, but it is not enough.

Many of the we were supporting carried invisible burdens. Some had gone through trauma, others struggled with low self-esteem, anxiety, and difficult home environments. This was affecting their attendance, their performance, and their confidence.

So we asked ourselves: how do we support the whole child, not just their education?

That question led us to go deeper.

Together with Children For Health, we co-authored a SuperBetter mental health toolkit designed to help children build resilience, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. We began working directly with learners, helping them understand their feelings, cope with challenges, and believe in themselves again.

And it worked.

Our approach gained recognition at the highest level, including from Mr. John Hecklinger the President and CEO of Global Fund for Children, highlighting the importance of investing in grassroots organizations like ours.

But we didn’t stop there.

Our partnership with Children for Health grew stronger, and together we tackled issues of , ensuring that no child feels left out. We developed inclusive storybooks and learning materials, and carried out community campaigns, workshops, and trainings on key issues such as prevention, , , and , all centered on supporting the child.

We also understood that learning cannot happen without basic needs being met.

Through collaboration with World Vision Zambia in Isoka, we facilitated the drilling of a borehole at the school, providing clean and safe water not only for learners, but for the entire surrounding community. This reduced waterborne diseases, improved hygiene, and restored dignity to daily life.

In addition, we partnered with the Ministry of Health Zambia and Right to Care Zambia in Isoka to conduct large-scale awareness campaigns on mental health and HIV/AIDS. These engagements opened up conversations that were once avoided, reducing stigma, encouraging testing, and promoting healthier lifestyles among youths and community members.

Through all these efforts, we have reached over 5,000 children not just educating them, but supporting their health, confidence, and overall wellbeing.

This is the impact we believe in.

Not just building structures, but building lives.

Not just teaching lessons, but restoring hope.

Not just reaching numbers, but transforming futures.

And we are just getting started.

IMPACT SHARING,1 OF 5

Phoenix Foundation — Changing Lives Through Education

A few years ago, in the rural communities of Isoka District, going to school was not a guarantee, it was a struggle.

Children walked long distances, many simply stayed home, and others dropped out completely. Poverty, lack of infrastructure, and limited access to schools meant that too many young lives were left behind. For some, this led to early marriages, substance abuse, and a future cut short before it even began.

We could not look away.

Phoenix Foundation, together with community leaders, stepped in with one clear mission, to bring education closer to the children. What started as an idea turned into action. We mobilized resources and worked hand in hand with the community to construct a school, a safe, accessible space where children could finally learn, grow, and dream again.

And the change was immediate.

Children who had never stepped into a classroom. These are children from the most vulnerable backgrounds: from child-headed families, aged households, and even survivors of early marriages. Today, they are reading, writing, and rebuilding their futures.

We didn’t stop at access.

We supported learners with books, and essential learning materials restoring dignity, confidence, and the joy of being in school. Teachers were also equipped with teaching aids to improve the quality of learning in the classroom.

We provided desks and furniture so that children no longer had to learn sitting on the floor.

To us this is what impact looks like not just numbers, but lives changed.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of individuals and partners who believed in us, including the Global Youth Mobilization Global Fund for Children The Pollination Project Foundation, Cultivate and amazing individuals like Liz, Audrey, Kathryn, Alan, Elaine, alongside our dedicated community members and traditional leaders.

Because of you, hope was restored.
Because of you, children are back in school.
Because of you, the future is being rewritten.

And this is only the beginning.

Stay with us as we continue sharing our journey of impact over the next days. 💛

CELEBRATING 5 YEARS OF IMPACT — PHOENIX FOUNDATION

Five years ago, Phoenix Foundation was not an organization, it was simply a dream.

A dream born out of personal experiences. A deep belief that education can change lives. A quiet conviction that if given the right support, every young person can rise.

Today, we pause to celebrate how far that dream has come.

After a rigorous physical inspection of our operations by the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services (Department of NGO Registration), we are proud to share that Phoenix Foundation has successfully renewed its certificate for the next five years.

This milestone is more than just compliance, it is a reflection of trust, accountability, and consistency. It follows a thorough review of our systems, including timely submission of annual returns, independently audited financial records, and the presence of an independent Board of Directors.

Because of this trust, Phoenix Foundation has also been entrusted twice to serve as a fiscal sponsor for eight organizations across Zambia, forming a consortium and effectively receiving and managing grants on their behalf. This is a responsibility we carry with great humility.

What started as a single program focused on education has now grown into a broader mission. Today, our work spans Education, Health and Wellness, and Livelihood Improvement reaching deeper into communities and responding to real needs.

But beyond the programs and milestones, what truly defines these five years are the people, the young lives impacted, the mentors who have walked alongside them, and the individuals and partners who believed in us even before we had structure or recognition.

We are grateful for the trust we have earned, and we remain committed to building an organization that is transparent, accountable, and deeply rooted in community impact.

If you believe in investing in the future of children and young people, we invite you to walk this journey with us.

Over the next five days, we will be sharing highlights of our work and impact over the past five years.

This is not just our story, it is a shared journey of hope, growth, and possibility.
