Orphan Education Support - Zambian Villages

The build up to Christmas is truly under way – festive lights illuminating the high streets, TV and radio media advertising the latest computer games and supermarket crammed with treats. With so much turmoil happening around the globe, the raging wars, the natural disasters and the Ebola crisis, to mention but a few, it’s hard to get enthusiastic about Christmas. The unwanted gifts, the over indulgence, the unnecessary stress it all creates is it really worth it? There are so many good causes that need supporting and this is the perfect time for giving.

A recent quote from one of our orphan sponsors sums it up: ‘With all the excess involved in Christmas and even everyday spending on silly things, it is genuinely a delight to give money to people who really need it.’

This month The Butterfly Tree has received some amazing donations and grants. The money will be used to build a 1×2 classroom block and latrines for Ndele Primary School and a health post at Muchimbale. Mukuni Special Education class will get additional meterials and stationery to help the children with learning difficulties. 

Children wih special needs really do struggle, there are no facilities in rural villages. In addition to the one at Mukuni The Butterfly Tree has added three further units at Riverview, Katapazi and Simango Schools. By attaching an extra classroom solely for this purpose the Ministry of Education has provided skilled teachers. Children with Down's Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and interlectual impairment are now receiving a basic education.

As always orphans are at the forefront of our work. It is imperitave that they receive a sound education to help them to improve their situation in life. Your support has helped us to reach out to thousands of orphaned an vulnerable children in Zambia.
