Lusaka, Zambia
Our team plans to establish a Celebrate Recovery (CR) program in local churches in an effort to combat growing substance abuse in Zambia. This will be accomplished by training local church leaders on how to facilitate CR groups with adults and youth.
In addition to establishing CR, we aim to provide an enjoyable and life-changing program for children at Sinai School, a community school in rural Zambia comprising of 11 staff members and 330 students ages 3-18. We also intend to purchase musical instruments and sports jerseys for the children to enjoy.
Our team looks forward to extending our support to the staff members of Sinai School as well by providing training on Play Therapy techniques to utilize with the children to reduce risk for suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, hopelessness and gang membership and enhance their emotional and social skills. Moreover, we will offer stress management training to prevent the occurrence of burnout.
