Mongu Evangelical Church
About this partner
Mongu Evangelical Church provides holistic care to orphans and vulnerable children with a focus on education. In 2009 they established Mongu Christian Academy.
Mongu Christian Academy is a preschool for at-risk children ranging in age from 4-7 years old. Preschool in Zambia is an expensive luxury very few can afford. As a result, many children enter school without knowing their basic ABC’s and 123’s and struggle in the classroom. By providing a quality preschool education the children are equipped with a strong foundation to begin their formal education.
In addition, the Church sponsored older children (7 years and up) in the community that cannot afford to attend school, registering the children and paying their fees.
And the new Mongu Evangelical Church After School Club will provide:
- Computer skills classes
- Learning through play, for younger kids
- Job skills & vocational training, for older youth
- Regular checks on mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health
- Computer skills classes
- Food pantries for under-nourished children who need a healthy snack
- Vocational and entrepreneurship classes for parents, to bolster their child’s environment
