Project Description:
New Hope Waves is a local non-profit organization based in Livingstone, Zam-
bia. The school that we are running has more 120 children from the ages of 4-15
years coming from the most vulnerable communities in Livingstone and most of
the children are coming from poor families who cannot afford to take them to
government and private school due to financial constraints. So we are providing
affordable almost free education to the children in the communities to get them
in school so that they will learn to read and write then excel to higher grades too.

Notice: This is an Africa WG project. Please contact the SCI branch or partner
organisation in your country for further information.
