Our History
Bishop Chitemo School began in 2011 with only six children and one teacher and with the help of volunteers and international sponsors, it has grown into a full primary school offering pre-k through standard 7 with over 300 students.
In 2018 we began sending our sponsored graduates on to our hand-selected secondary schools. Visit our About Us page to learn more about our history, our beliefs, and our vision.
Ways to Get Involved
We Can't Do This Alone! Every little bit counts; one-time donations, fundraising, volunteering, or sponsoring a child from kindergarten to university and everything in between. Find out how you can help.
Who We Are
What started as a tiny school has become a place of hope for an entire region, but a primary school education at Bishop Chitemo school is only the first step in affecting real change. These children need to continue their education in the best environments possible in order to have every opportunity available to them. Without a good secondary education, it is almost impossible to break free from poverty and become agents for change in their own community.
Since our first graduating class in 2018, we have been sending as many students as possible to reputable and safe secondary schools. Donations and sponsorships are often the only hope these children have of a better future.
