Old MacDonald's Farm (OMF)
www.omfzambia.com Old MacDonald's farm is situated on the outskirts of the Zambian capital Lusaka, it is the home of Don and Christine MacDonald. They provide a home and schooling for a number of boys from vulnerable backgrounds, many of whom have serious health problems and were living on the streets. They also coordinate the paying of school fees for needy children in the community. Due to health problems the MacDonald's returned to the UK in 2019, but hope to return to Lusaka by the beginning of 2021. The work still continues under their guidance, where the day to day work is ably overseen by Mr Banda |

Tembenukani Christian Community School
(Formally know as Taonga School)
www.taongaschool.org
Taonga School was set up by Abigail, a qualified teacher, who joined the MacDonald's in August 2009, initially to help with the education of boys living at Old MacDonald's Farm. She now runs a community school for children who could not otherwise afford to go to school. This was started with six children but now has over 150 on roll. We have been able to help with the construction of classroms and essential provisions for the school. In order to register with the Zambian authorities the name was changed to Tembenukani Christian Community School.

Undikumbukire Project Zambia www.sara-a-to-z.blogspot.com www.facebook.com/UPZambia Zambia lacks a functional juvenile justice system. Juveniles (aged 8-19) who cannot afford lawyers or access legal aid, they are undefended, which leads to absurd charges and one-sided trials. Sara, who is licensed to practice law in Zambia works voluntarily with other local lawyers to provide legal representation to imprisoned youngsters across Zambia, hoping to ensure fair trials and end prolonged detention. She also regularly visits the prisons providing support and meeting basic needs. |
