www.omfzambia.com Old MacDonald's Farm (OMF) Old MacDonald's farm is situated on the outskirts of the Zambian capital Lusaka, it is the home of Don, Christine MacDonald and their family. They provide a home and schooling for a number of boys from vulnerable backgrounds, many of whom have serious health problems and some were living on the streets. The MacDonald's also coordinate the paying of school fees for needy children in the community. There is a small farm on site where the boys can learn to grow vegetables, and care for animals. |

www.taongaschool.org Tembenukani Christian Community School (TCCS) (Formally known as Taonga School) 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 classrooms and essential provisions for the school. In order to register with the Zambian authorities the name was changed from Taonga School to Tembenukani Christian Community School in 2017. |

Undikumbukire Project Zambia
Zambia lacks a functional juvenile justice system. juveniles (aged 8-19) 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.
