Deborah is 17-yrs-old and will start Grade 11 in 2027. Her favorite subject is English and her interests include taking Tonga lessons and playing netball! When Deborah grows up, she wants to become a soldier so that she can help protect her community and her country.

Deborah currently lives with her parents and 5 siblings. Unfortunately, her parents are struggling to find stable employment and are barely able to cover household necessities. They are therefore unable to afford Deborah’s school fees and school supplies, putting her at risk for dropping out.

  • Poverty In Zambia

    Unlike most places in the developed world, education is not free to the public in Zambia. All students are required to pay school fees as well as purchase a school uniform, shoes, and other supplies, which many families cannot afford. In times of crisis, impoverished children are especially vulnerable and face several challenges. Girls who are unable to attend school have a high risk of becoming pregnant or being forced into marriage, whereas boys have a high risk of underage drinking, smoking, and becoming involved in petty crime. By sponsoring a child you are giving them access to life-changing programs and support.
