Generosity in Action
is happy to help support the Ebenezer School
Ebenezer School, Zambia Africa
|
The Ebenezer School is located near Livingston, Zambia
and is a project supported by Bushtracks. It is overseen
by a staff member of the Bushtracks/Africa office in
Livingston, Zambia.
|
MISSION STATEMENT AND KEY OBJECTIVES
A place to call home and someone to call Mother.
To rehabilitate orphans/street
kids and to help them become responsible citizens
one day.
To educate orphans in formal education and in
vocations such as carpentry, agriculture etc.
To make the project as self-sustaining as possible
by growing our own vegetables, raising chickens
and goats for meat and building homes to eliminate
rental costs.

| Today Ebenezer
rents four houses and an Office building. We provide accommodation
to 50 orphans and street kids. Some staff namely the House
parents live in these homes with the children and parent
them.
We also run a primary school on the premises where
qualified teachers educate the orphans in the project
and a few from the community. The Office block houses
the main office, the sick room and storerooms.
We also wish to put up a school so that orphans from
the project as well as those from the community can
have access to a good education.
Due to poverty very few orphans are sent to school and
many drop out in the early stages of primary education.
The school will cater for grades 1-7 and will aid many
children.
