Zambia's Scholarship Fund provides a unique Cycle of Education program that works in one of the poorest countries in Africa!

Through our Cycle of Education:

We provide a monthly salary for teachers to teach in poor and rural communitiy
schools.
We provide scholarships for students to attend high school.
We encourage high school students to become teachers by sponsoring them at
a two year teacher's college.
We support existing Zambian schools. 100% of donations go directly to Zambian
students.

Unemployment in Zambia is over 90% and due to lack of revenue, the Zambain government cannot provide public education to Zambians beyond the seventh grade.

Ten years ago, Zambia's Scholarship Fund (ZSF) began helping students and schools in the remote Northern Province of Zambia. In this poor area, teachers for elementary education are scarce and many communities have not had a teacher for years.

ZSF began by sponsoring 10 students at Kasama Teacher's College. Today, we support over 521 college students and 756 high school students. We have also created over 223 jobs by paying teachers to teach in poor and rural village schools.

Success Stories

In the documentary Teach a Man to Fish Humphrey Kafula tells us how as a young teen he became utterly hopeless. His home life was very bad and he had little chance of success at school. He could see no end to his misery. He went out to a remote area planning to take his life, hoping he would never be found and bring shame to his mother. While there he had a miraculous experience that made him realize that God cared for him. He turned around and went home and in a very short time ended up being sponsored so that he could go to school. He met a teacher that changed his life, filling him with hope and inspiration. His greatest desire in life then became his goal to become a teacher and share the light he gained from his education. Humphrey worked in the mines to save enough money, but couldn’t make ends meet. Eventually the Fund was able to send Humphrey to college. He was so happy he couldn’t express it.
Now Humphrey is a teacher assigned to a rural village. Now his dreams of bringing hope and happiness to hundreds of young African students has come true. In time he hopes to work his way up to being a High School teacher.
