Unlike most places in the developed world, education is not free to the public in Zambia. Students are required to pay school fees, as well as purchase a school uniform, shoes, and other supplies which many families cannot afford. We believe that every person should have the right to access education; therefore, we created FHCI’s Sponsorship Program. This program provides education to 130 students in preschool through University and Trade School. In addition, we financially support Chibule Preschool, in order to provide education to thirty village children who would otherwise be unable to attend school.

To thrive in school, students need to have their basic nutritional and health needs met. In January 2021, we launched our Lunch Program and began providing our students in Livingstone with lunch during the school terms. In addition to this, we also provide breakfast Monday - Friday to 50 students in Delevu Pre & Primary School. We also provide lunch for the community members when we host community workshops, and every December we have a Christmas Celebration/End of the Year Party where we feed all of the students a special Christmas meal. In addition to nutrition, we provide medical assistance to students and families who are HIV positive or have other medical issues.

In order to combat gender inequality in Zambia, and foster an inclusive, respectful, non-discriminative environment, we host Girl and Boy Impact Programs to empower the students and educate them about gender equality, gender-based violence, sexual/reproductive health, and a variety of other topics. We also host community workshops to provide the community with information about topics that are important to them. In addition, we are working with the Zambian Department of Education to assist them with revising their Comprehensive Sexuality Education Framework to make it more inclusive and to promote gender equality.
