Our Community Hope Centre provides refuge, hope and support to vulnerable children and their families in Africa's largest slum region.

In Zambia, when a mother is sentenced to prison and she has a child aged 4 or under, the child will often go with her. As conditions are notoriously bad, our programme provides practical, spiritual and emotional support for both mother and child, while advocating for reform.

Sadly child sexual abuse is endemic in Zambia with many men believing that they will be cured of HIV if they have sex with a child. With an average age of only 12, there is negligible support and care for the victims and painfully inadequate systems to pursue justice or to establish effective child protection laws and systems.

This wonderful care centre is a base for our teams to pursue justice and care for victims of child sexual abuse, while using their legal expertise to advocate for change and system reform.

This programme serves older girls aged eighteen and over who are survivors of sexual violence. They have come out of our Oasis programme and need support to live independently. The project helps them find work or continue with their education, as well as supporting them with childcare if they have little ones.
