Our Mission Statement

We shall promote an environment in which orphans and vulnerable children are cared for, supported, bodily, mentally, socially, morally, spiritually and with an emphasis on education, nutrition and social support to facilitate a meaningful life.

The Mwandi United Church of Zambia Orphans and Vulnerable Children Project was established in 2004 to support the orphans and vulnerable children of Mwandi Village educationally, nutritionally, socially and spiritually.

The Project seeks to be inclusive of all children without prejudice of religious affiliation, background or illness. The project aims to welcome vulnerable children from all parts of Mwandi regardless of their background or history.

There are a number of different programs run by the Project and most are based around the Drop-In Centre. The Feeding Programme, Garden, Bakery and School Support are among the major programs run out of the OVC Centre. Over 270 children are provided with one balanced meal per day; 750 children are supported in school; the Garden and Bakery provide fresh produce to the feeding programme and will, in the future, provide income to the Project.
