Matero LCA

We took a trip to visit the Matero Lifeway Christian Academy, where the sponsored children in Matero go to school.

The LCAs were first opened this year for our sponsored kids. We have four schools in different areas of Lusaka and are hoping to double that by next year.

A large part of a Father’s Heart sponsorship goes towards paying for that child to attend school. However, we discovered that the level of education offered at most of the schools in the communities was not enough to really change a child’s life.

The LCAs have very qualified teachers and offer a much longer school day than the 2 hours found in most community schools.

The desks at the LCAs were built by our carpenters at the Tree of Life Children’s Village. Most community schools do not have desks.

The LCAs will become a major focus of our ministry for the next few years. Educating these children to a high level will empower them to break the cycle of poverty that they have been stuck in.
