About Us

The Girls Project is a Non-Government Organization

We are a small registered non profit organization with limited resources of funds, we are working hardly with our own funds which are from our pockets. The Street Girls Project was been created two years ago by a group of six experienced volunteers and 5 peer educators. And we do not have any sponsor. We are working at our own.

Primary Projects :

We are a Christian children home specializing in children that are the victims of the aids virus, malaria, abandoned, orphaned and starving. These children are the discard of humanity. They make up a tiny fraction of the over 2 millions orphan children only in Lusaka. We have 75 children at the present time under Girls Project care, all are aged between 2 to 16 years old.

In addition we have a community outreach program, literacy, adults vocational trainings. We have a fellowship with about 250-300 kids and parents. Saturdays , Sundays and holidays. We strive to open the doors of the world to the youth in this community and their parents extended families. The education for these children is very important and must to draw our attention as if these children are to become viable adults in their world and could be help themselves, their relatives , friends and neighbours in the society to succeed and move forward.
We are helping the neediest orphans in rural areas of Zambia be cared for and educated, particularly in Lusaka where the AIDS epidemic is causing large numbers of children to be orphaned. Our organisation pay school fees for these children, we give a one time grant of US$250 to each family looking after these orphans and we provide credit and savings (Micro credit Scheme) to all communities we operate in. A total of 400 people are benefiting. In addition we wish to provide computer skills training to Youths (over 50).
