Why Zambia?

At Family Legacy, we work exclusively in the country of Zambia. I am often asked why we focus so specifically on just one country.

Our goal is to focus our efforts on one country for as long as it takes to see transformation happen. Zambia is home to some of the most vulnerable children in the world. We desire to see change in their lives now and, through them, to see long-term change throughout the nation of Zambia.

Here are a few quick details on the conditions in Zambia -
 


 


Because of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the extreme poverty that breeds hopelessness and despair, Zambia has become home to the largest percentage of orphans of any country in the world. The children we work with can barely begin to understand life outside of their slums or dream of a living to be an old man or woman.

Since beginning our work in September, 2000, Family Legacy has been committed to one goal: transforming Zambia one child at a time.
