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 when completed will give a home to over 100 children.

Community School Project

We are helping to build two community schools - one at Munakandi and one at Malobe and these will be completed in 2009

Health Post Project

In 2008 The Foundation completed a health post at Chisanga located 30 very rough kilometers from the nearest health facilities and is the home to over 4,500 Tonga.
