EDUCATE 300 CHILDREN IN NEED
Access to education lies at the heart of any development. Lack of education is both a part of the definition of poverty and a means for its diminution. Education is the driving force behind any strong economy and a prerequisite for social and economic growth. It creates opportunities and provides societies with a better educated and skilled workforce, which is necessary for stimulating development. Education is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty, give people opportunity to improve their lives and raise their voices, promotes harmonious co-existence, improve their health, productivity and foster participation in civil society. The main purpose of education whether formal or informal is to produce people who will be useful members of society.
The project is helping educate over 500 orphans and vulnerable children allowing them to remain in school and improve on their life. This will reduce the burden on guardians who have taken up the responsibilities of taking care of orphans left behind by their relatives and this will also reduce poverty and crime in the community which is on increase as a result of children being found on the street. The fundraising target for this project is $20,000.00 out of which we have raised $3,229 with $16,771 left. This project is helping provide both academic and vocational education to over 300 children in need at Fortune School of Excellence formerly known as Fortune Community School in Solwezi District of Zambia. Zambia has witnessed unprecedented pandemic that has affected the learning at CCCYD. Charity Centre for Children and Youth Development now intends on drilling a borehole at Fortune School of Excellence for access to safe and clean drinking water.
