Malachi absolutely enjoys the process of counting and organizing the sanitary pads for donation to the many vulnerable beneficiary girls on our program.

We are gearing up for our next donation to add to the already 400+ packs of 10 sanitary pads already donated so far so please feel free to support via an online donation or physical donation of already purchased sanitary pads if you are anywhere in Zambia 🇿🇲

A great cause, with great visible and tangible results and impact

Today we celebrate and remember Sasha Raftery and her great sacrifice for the hundreds of girls on our outreach project.

provides the most vulnerable girls in Zambia 🇿🇲 with Menstrual Hygiene Management coaching as well as provides girls from the poorest backgrounds with Menstrual Hygiene products such as sanitary pads, soap 🧼 and underwear 🩲.

The girls that Sasha ran for come from homes that are forced to live and survive on less than $2/day income so items such as sanitary pads are a “luxury”

Girls who find themselves in this situation are forced to put their health at risk by using alternatives such as old traditional chitenge cloth, tissue, socks 🧦 and other “substitutes” we won’t mention.

God bless you Sash for your hard work and sacrifice, we are forever grateful as an organization.

Feel free to contact us or visit our website if you wish to take part in a fundraising activity for the girls on our Project and we will be happy to assist.

“Always plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark” - Richard Cushing

Preparation is very important in agriculture so it’s something we take very seriously in our agricultural endeavours based on skills and knowledge transfer to beneficiaries through social enterprise and skills training at our various partner schools in Zambia 🇿🇲

Our AgriSTEM pilot at six (6) partner schools in Zambia has been a great success due to this and we hope to share some big news over the coming weeks regarding scaling and centralisation of this project at National Level

The key 🔑 to success for both our organization and its beneficiaries at our various partner schools is good communication and strategic planning with the administration and teaching staff to ensure that pupils being sponsored by us through your support receive the academic support and attention they are so desperately in need of as well as continuously asses their situation at home and with family.

There are many factors that adversely effect a vulnerable/orphaned child’s academic journey.

Our goal is to identify, mitigate and navigate those adverse factors by working with the children, staff and guardians simultaneously.

Every child along their academic journey has that one special teacher that was able to connect with them, understand and develop them in a way that is so effortless yet so impactful.

Our Andy Hodges Scholarship team strives to continuously identify such teachers and support them and the schools they work in as best as we can to ensure the best and highest quality service delivery to the sponsored beneficiary pupils.

Can you remember that one special teacher in your life that made a huge difference?

24/04/2025

Imagine having to choose between attending school or helping your family survive.

This is the harsh reality for many children in Zambia. Our Andy Hodges Scholarship Program is working to break this cycle of poverty by providing educational opportunities to these children.

But we need your help!

We have over 300 children waiting for a sponsor - your support can change their life forever.

Everything that is great today once started as a seed, an idea that grew and matured.

This statement is so true with regards to our Agricultural Skills Training Program which to date has empowered multitudes of vulnerable pupil beneficiaries at various schools as well as vulnerable adults in the community.

We are currently concluding talks with a potential strategic partner to take our social enterprise model to the entire country 🇿🇲
