Zambia School Outreach
Atmosphere Africa
Zambia is located in south central Africa, home to Victoria falls and the famous 19th century missionary David Livingstone. Our supported schools are located in the capital city, Lusaka. School isn’t free in Zambia, and many children are considered “vulnerable,” meaning they are too poor to attend school. With little to no education, most of these vulnerable children grow up to have no skill or trade and are left in a cycle of poverty.
How It Started
Pastor Jim felt a call of God to serve the people of Africa in 2007. This vision led to a short trip to Africa by the leaders of the Vegas church where he was the Lead Pastor. God divinely led them to the Sitalis and Living Hope School, in the heart of Lusaka. They were hooked. They started helping immediately by providing a needed water supply. They then started giving a monthly financial donation to ensure the children were provided a hot meal while at school and the teachers were paid stipends.
Because of our financial partnership, the school has been able to expand and create a second campus in the village of Shantumbu. Together, we are now changing the lives of over 800 children.
Meet Our Local Leaders
Many years ago, Bishop Ernest and Laikah Sitali started bringing street children into their home and giving them a Christ-centered education. Their home became too small and their church, Streams of Living Waters, opened its doors to educate the children. Later, a donor built classrooms on the church property and Living Hope Community School was created.
How You Can Help
Funding for the school is raised by monthly donors giving $21 per month. 100% of these donations are sent directly to the school. With these donations, we are able to ensure all the students are fed, educated, and discipled for Christ.
