“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

Chikondi Phiri is Country Director of Family Legacy Missions Zambia, empowered by Family Legacy Missions International, a ministry that is literally changing the lives of thousands of kids in Zambia today. 

Most Americans don’t understand how desperate many of Zambia’s children are for basic things like food, shelter, and education. In a country with about six and a half million children, more than a million are orphaned due to AIDS and other factors.

Family Legacy implements a unique blend of holistic care. They equip children with literacy and numeracy skills necessary for life. They also help students come to know Jesus Christ and live out the Gospel through a well-structured curriculum, discipleship, and Bible studies. Students also have the opportunity to eat one hot and nutritious meal every day at school. And for some students, this is the only meaningful meal they have in a day. They also provide medical care and have a highly effective emotional care program underpinned by a biblical ethos.

For most children in Zambia, graduating from high school is a far-fetched dream, but through Family Legacy’s sponsorship program, more than 500 students graduated last year. 

They are working to help ensure that every child who goes through their program is guided and empowered to live out their God-given potential, whatever that is.
