Education – pupils financially supported at schools significantly rose from 301 to 391; Being made up of 211 in primary and 180 in secondary schools. The academic school year faced significant Covid related challenges during the year; particularly with schools closing between mid-June and mid-August, which resulted in elongated terms in the remainder of the school cycle.

Care homes – 32 students in care homes during the year. Graduates previously sponsored through Zamcog assisted in providing education to those in the homes through-out the year.

115 families are supported through the food program with support coming in two guises; BAU operational activity and an generous donation from The Souter Charitable Trust. The demand for the program remains high.

An additional Transition House has been constructed for children in-between secondary education and tertiary education. Those students in the houses were permitted to provide Saturday schooling to local children in the Makalulu area.

In the Further Education and Training programs there were 24 new starts taking the number in the programs to 62. We are extremely grateful for all our sponsors in these two program s

Zamcog Trustees did not visit Zambia in 2021 to review the work being carried out by our associate NGO Lubuto Child Care Centre due to the ongoing Covid situation.

Our major donations in the year w ere from the Leif Wahlen Foundation who provided the majority of our operational in Kabwe.

Similarly pandemic restrictions limited our fundraising program for live events but our fundraising team was successful in being awarded grants from The Souter Charitable Trust, IHS Markit and and St Columbas School.
