Last year Family Legacy adopted Lookout Center in Kabanana as our first community school, Lifeway Christian School – Kabanana. This year we are very excited that we were able to open SEVEN more schools in different parts of Lusaka. These schools are located in areas that have a desperate need for quality education for the children. In some areas the existing schools have closed their doors, while others insist on physically abusing their students. The Lifeway Christian Schools will provide the children with a safe place to learn from some of the best teachers in all of Lusaka. Four of the new schools will open this September while we work on getting the other schools ready to open along with the new school year in January.

In order to help our teachers we want to make sure every child has the best tools in class everyday. We need to collect 1000 backpacks filled with school supplies. We also need 15 sets of classroom supplies. This year as you are buying school supplies to send your own children back to school, consider buying a second or third set for the orphans of Zambia. Keep reading for details on how you can help.

Below you can find the different types of supplies we need for each age group and supplies for the classrooms. If you are able to collect these supplies, please get them to our office by September 1st. Print off the shopping list here and turn it in with your school supplies and $5 to help ship them to Zambia. If you would prefer to have us purchase the school supplies for you, select “Fill-a-Backpack Drive” on our donate page.
