When Katie Lavender visited the Twaabane group, in When Katie Lavender visited the Twaabane group, in a rural area west of Monze, community members spoke proudly about the young people who have grown up through the programme. They talked about children who have gone on to become teachers, police officers, army personnel and business owners, many of whom are now supporting their families. This is exemplified by Belinda. In 2016, when she was at school, Belinda drew a picture of herself becoming a nurse. She has now completed her training in nursing and midwifery and will graduate in November. A childhood ambition is becoming a profession. Belinda’s story reflects her own determination, as well as the importance of families, communities and educational support. A donation of just £15 a month will provide school fees, uniforms, shoes, books and equipment and for older children, the opportunity to access skills training, college and even university.​ Click on the link in our bio now to set up a monthly donation or make a one-off donation and begin helping a child every day, in every way.
Nsanzya is one of four students we supporting duri Nsanzya is one of four students we supporting during tertiary education. He is in his third year at university, studying accounting. His mother joined her local community group after the death of her husband. She remains an active member, supporting other families in her community. She is hugely proud of his achievements and expresses her gratitude for the support from BFZ. She says if just one member of the family can be educated to that level it will lift everyone else up. During his university holidays, Nsanzya visits schools to mentor other children and help them with applications for further education. He wants to give something back for the opportunity he received. By sharing his time and experience, he is helping other young people see what may be possible for their own futures. During her recent visit, Kate also met Miriam Mabita, one our past students. She received a government scholarship to study pharmacy. Education can change the direction of one person’s life, while the support of that person can go on to benefit many others.
Education has always been at the heart of BFZ’s wo Education has always been at the heart of BFZ’s work. From sponsoring individual children in our early years to supporting more than 90 children and young people today, BFZ has helped young people continue their education and pursue new opportunities. Our support includes: • School support and weekly wellbeing sessions • Tertiary education support for four alumni • Skills training, with recent cohorts of around 25 participants • Support shaped around the needs of each community and family Some young people are connected to BFZ for a few years. Others remain part of the programme for much longer. During our co-founder Katie’s recent visit to Zambia, former programme participants spoke about the opportunities education, training and wellbeing support have helped create. Several had gone on to secure employment and had taken time away from work to meet with her. Education can widen choices for young people, strengthen families and benefit whole communities.
Celebrating the opportunities created by 15 years Celebrating the opportunities created by 15 years of support At the beginning of her recent visit to Zambia, Brighter Futures Zambia co-founder Kate Lavender spent time with young people who have recently completed, or are progressing beyond, our programmes. They spoke about their experiences of school sponsorship, tertiary education, skills training and wellbeing sessions — and the opportunities these forms of support have helped create in their lives. They also shared honestly about the challenges they continue to face as young Zambians from communities affected by poverty. It was especially moving to hear that several had taken time away from work to meet Kate. The jobs they now have were opportunities they were able to pursue with support from Brighter Futures Zambia. Our aim is to help people have more choices and be better placed to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. Seeing the results of 15 years of community-led work encourages us to do more. We are deeply grateful to all our donors for their continued generosity and support. #BrighterFuturesZambia #15Years #CommunityLedDevelopment #EducationChangesLives #SkillsTraining #Zambia
