Our Trachoma Project

Trachoma infects up to 45% of the children and if untreated causes a very painful blindness. Our program examines, medicates, educates the children, performs surgeries as required and provides clean water for them and their families.

Our Orthopedic Project

The Foundation provides funding for 100 operations annually for the children who need orthopedic surgeries and in October 2006 we opened the residence that we built to house the families of the children needing an operation and we look after the annual operating costs.  

Our Distribution Project

The villagers in the Gwembe Valley are desperate for even the simplest of supplies and the Foundation collects t-shirts and school materials from children and others in Canada and distributes them in Zambia each year.

Our Cataract Project

The Foundation continues to look after some of the cataract surgeries ($50 per operation) and has also put in place a procedure to look after emergencies as they occur in the remote Gwembe Valley.

Chishawasha Orphanage

There is a tremendous need to look after the growing number of orphans and we are pleased to support this orphanage that is giving a safe loving home to over 90 children and also providing them with a first rate education.

Community School Project

The education facilities are very poor in this remote valley and we have embarked on a program to build as many schools as we can. To date have built two such schools and helped complete a third and will build three additional schools in 2011.

Health Post Project

In 2008 The Foundation completed a health post at Chisanga located 30 very rough kilometers from the nearest health facilities and this year will add a much needed ward to accommodate the huge number of Tonga needing care. We also equipped a second clinic and in 2011 are building a ward, a mother's shelter, and an incinerator to provide better service to the Tonga.
