Empowering Vulnerable Children in Ndola, Zambia Through Free Education and Holistic Support

A Future 4 Kids School began in 2009 when Joyce Chimbila and her friend Minerva Kachaka commence a small mission offering meals and basic literacy and numeracy lessons to vulnerable children in Ndola, Zambia. Their goal was to help prepare children from disadvantaged backgrounds for enrolment in local government primary schools. But the Government Schools wouldn’t accept our students as they were “too old.”

So in 2010, we became a primary school dedicated to providing free, quality education, along with nutritious meals, essential healthcare, and a safe, nurturing environment. Today, we serve over 300 children, many of whom are orphans or survivors of abuse and extreme poverty.

But our commitment doesn’t end at primary school. We continue to support our students through secondary and tertiary education, empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and build brighter futures.

We're especially proud to share that in 2025, our first three students (all from 2009) attending Northrise University will be graduating — a meaningful, “mission Impossible” milestone for them, their families, and our school community.
