About us

Brighter Futures Zambia is a small charity that makes a big difference to vulnerable children and young people in Zambia. We provide the education and holistic support children need to live happier, healthier and safer lives while realising their potential to achieve brighter futures.

Donate

We rely on your donations to enable our work. We are a ‘kitchen table’ charity; we volunteer our time in the UK and don’t have expensive overheads, so your donation goes to improving the lives of vulnerable children and their communities. We need your generosity to continue our work and give every vulnerable child a bright future.

What we do

We run projects in four main areas; Access to Education, Pre-School Education, Wellbeing, Community Building & Sustainability. All our projects are designed to create brighter futures for vulnerable children and young people.

Our Mission

Brighter Futures Zambia works to provide orphaned or otherwise vulnerable children in Zambia (especially those affected by HIV/AIDs) a happier, healthier and safer present and a more secure and fulfilling future. We do this by improving those children’s access to education and empowering both the child and their carer through counselling, training and other forms of support.
