​Meet Richard Chalwe, a brave young man from Kawama North. Richard’s life has been filled with hardship — he lost his father when he was young, and today, he lives with his elderly grandparents, helping them survive by doing small delivery jobs just to earn enough for one meal a day. His mother, Violet Banda, is still alive but is very ill after an accident and unable to support him.

​Thanks to your generous support, something beautiful has been growing at our new WellSpring property — a small but meaningful patch of maize, planted and cared for by the girls over the past few months.

​My name is Micha Nsonga, and I am 11 years old. I am the youngest in a family of six. Our father left when I was just a baby, and my siblings and I were raised by our mother on her own. Life was not easy, but in 2023, I became a resident of Wellspring Rescue Village in Mufulira, and my life changed for the better.

​At WellSpring Rescue House in Mufulira, Zambia, each day is filled with learning, growth, and community. After school, the girls take part in daily activities that equip them with essential life skills. Under the guidance of our dedicated caregivers, they learn to cook, wash dishes, and organize household items—skills that will help them build a strong foundation for their future.

​Jolima and Naomi embarked on an interesting school project that involved making a simple circuit, which turned out to be a much more enriching experience than they initially anticipated.

​In Zambia, the education system is divided into three terms per year.

The academic calendar is structured to encourage continuous learning and growth throughout the school year.

On January 13th, all schools in Zambia reopened after a one-month holiday in December for the Christmas season and this starts the new 2025 school year.
