Bringing street children back to family life within the community
Action For Children ~ Zambia
We believe that every child we help can make a difference in the world.
While we cannot solve the problems of Africa, we believe that it is worth it to save the life and dreams of every child who comes to us for help.
Our Organization
Action for Children~Zambia (AFCZ) is dedicated to helping the children living and dying on the streets in Zambia. We are unique among similar organizations in our dedication to keeping the children we care for connected to — and involved in — their communities in Zambia. We focus on education and support our children as we live in a family-style setting. We believe that in order for a child to successfully grow into a productive adult, he or she must have roots in the communities they will return to.
AFCZ is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States and as an NGO in Zambia, and has attracted dedicated volunteers and supporters from countries all over the world.
“I am glad that I have the opportunity to let you know how much you have helped me. Before I came in this program, my life was not good at all. Even though I was young, I experienced a lot of bad things. My father was dead. My mom was a drunkard. My stepfather was abusive. I had nothing. That changed when my brother brought me to Mama Carol. Now I have everything. School, food, love and care. I wonder what my life would have been if you people were not there to help me? I really appreciate everything you are doing in my life. Thank You for giving support and giving me what my parents could not. I love you all. ”

Get Involved
Action for Children~Zambia is built on the dedication and love of its supporters throughout the world. Without our volunteers and donors, the doors of Kulunga Bana Youth Center and Redemption House would have shut long ago. Our operations are run nearly entirely on donor funds (except an occasional grant to begin a new project, and the small income we receive seasonally from farming at Kulunga Bana). We also have no paid administrative staff; all fundraising, administrative tasks and overhead duties are performed by our dedicated volunteers.
Not only do our supporters keep us in business on the practical side of things, but their messages and kindness are deeply touching and meaningful to the children we help, many of whom have never experienced a loving family.
We love to welcome new supporters in whatever capacity they are able to connect with us! If you are interested in volunteering, donating or just receiving our updates, please click the button below or contact us.
