Albetinah
Albetinah is a very sweet natured girl who is naturally very bright. She passed her grade 7 exam (a big exam in Zambia) with very high scores! Albetinah is very dedicated to her school work. She will do what she can to find any extra assistance to help her do well. Her favorite classes are history, civics, and science. As one of six children in her family it is challenging to find school fees for all. Sponsoring her would be huge for her and her family, especially as school fees have gotten more expensive now that she's not in primary school. When she finishes school she would love to become a teacher.
Alex
Alex is a sweet young boy. His father is one of the night guards for Love's Door. He is an exceptionally hard worker, but he has a few sons that he is trying to send to school. Sponsoring Alex would help the family.
Christobel
Christobel is such a sweet fun-loving girl. She loves to spend time playing with her friends, she’s goofy, and she will try to read any chance she gets. When we first met her she was 9 years old and was just learning how to write her name. Christobel lives with her mother, stepfather, and her baby sister. She has other siblings, but they live with relatives far away. Christobel is often responsible for many household chores such as washing, cooking, sweeping, or catching fish for the family to eat.
Chuma
Chuma, otherwise known as Dodica or Sharon (her English name), is a loveable girl. She is very interested in school although her family hasn’t had the resources to keep her in school full time. She lives with her mother, grandmother, and step-grandfather. She has 4 siblings who are all out of the house and live fairly far away. Her 80+ year old step-grandfather makes charcoal and is the relief night guard for Loves Door, but the incomes he gets from these jobs aren’t enough to support the whole family and pay school fees for Chuma. Sponsoring her would not only change Chuma’s life, it would change the family’s lives by providing one bag of mealie meal a month for the family.
Denes
Denes is a very bright boy who works hard at school. He just finished grade 7 where he took one of Zambia's big examinations and passed with high marks. He stays with his uncle's family because both of his parents have passed away. The uncle's family has been trying to pay for school fees, but they are currently paying for 4 of their own children along with this orphaned boy. Since he passed grade 7, going on to grade 8 has increased the school fees making it very difficult for the family to pay for Denes. School is now a long distance from Denes' home, maybe a 2 hour walk one way, but he is determined and pushing hard every day to make school a priority. Please help Denes to get a good education and help the uncle's family by paying his school fees.
Dorcus
Dorcus stays with her mother and her father and 6 other siblings. Her father has a disease which causes him not to be able to work. Sponsoring Dorcus would allow her to go to school and it would assist the family as well.
Edward
Edward can come across as a quiet boy, but once you get to know him or you see him in his comfort zone, he can be playful, fun, and loud. Edward loves fishing, playing soccer with his friends, and building things such as cars out of anything he can find. He lives with his grandmother, aunt, and cousins. His grandmother makes baskets out of a certain type of plant found around here, but the income from the baskets isn’t enough to pay for Edward’s school fees.
Esther
Esther is super cute. Your heart can't help but melt when you see her smile. She's an active and gentle little girl who is a big helper at home. She lives with her grandmother and a few other siblings and cousins. She seems to enjoy school although it's difficult for the family to come up with the money for her and the other cousins that live in the house. Sponsoring her would allow her to go to school without worrying about where the money will come from.
George
George is a hard worker. He just wrote his grade 7 exam (a big examination year in Zambia) and he did very well. He stays with his aunt because his mother has a mental disability and is unable to care for him. The aunt's husband had taken a second wife because she was unable to have children. The husband recently passed away and all of their belongings went to the second wife because she has children, leaving the aunt with nothing. The aunt has some health issues that have caused her not to be able to hold a steady job. She does have a sewing machine and when work comes she does what she can, but it isn't enough to support her nephew whose school fees have increased because he is no longer in primary school. Please consider helping George continue his education.
Gibson
Gibson is a sweet boy in a very vulnerable position. His father has passed away and his mother has some mental disabilities. He currently lives with one of his aunties. He is often found roaming around the villages freely with his friends. Sponsoring Gibson will hopefully help create some structure in his life.
Gift
Gift is a young boy who stays with his single mother. His father died a few years ago. Gift has struggled with an ear problem, causing hearing difficulties. Some staff from Love’s Door prayed over him, and part of his hearing difficulty was restored! Praise the Lord! Despite this hearing difficulty, Gift has tried to go to school his whole life. No one has ever been able to pay for his school fees, yet he pushes to go until the school sends him away. Sponsoring him would make a world of difference for him and his family.
Grace
Grace is a young girl who desperately wants to go to school. She lives with her mother and 4 siblings. Her father passed away years ago. Grace hasn’t had anyone to pay for her school fees, but she still goes to school as often as she can. When the school starts to chase her (send her away) she leaves, but then comes back to try again as soon as she can. She seems like a hard worker and also very determined. Sponsoring her would give her a chance to go to school full time without the fear of being sent away.
Hope
Hope is an extremely bright and sweet girl. She has spent most of her life in Lusaka living with an aunt because both of her parents died when she was young. She recently came down to Livingstone where she is now staying with some other relatives. She's in a vulnerable situation and at a vulnerable age. She's made it through grade 9 with good results and desires to finish school and become a nurse someday. Sponsoring her would allow her to pursue her dreams!
Idah
Idah lives with her family. She has 6 other siblings, which includes fairly young twins. She is in a vulnerable situation. She is bright and hardworking. Pray for Idah, that as she grows to be a young woman she would find and deeply know the love of her heavenly Father.

Jane is such a sweet mannered, gentle girl. She has the cutest laugh and eyes that light up a whole room. She loves learning to read and wandering around with her friends. Sponsoring her would make Jane’s dream of school become a reality!

Sponsoring her would not only support her, but also her family.

She has a difficult time focusing on academic task, but her smile and cute giggle will win over your heart. Meka lives with an aunt, uncle, and a few cousins.

She is part of their track team and she loves to run.
Mutinta
Mutinta is a quiet girl who seems to struggle academically but not on the athletic field. She just wrote her grade 7 exam (a big exam in Zambia) and she passed, but she just squeaked by. She appears to be a bit of a tomboy, but enjoys girly activities like painting her nails or making friendship bracelets too. She works hard but has a lot of odds against her.

Sponsoring Petersen will make a huge difference in his life and give him a chance to someday support his family.
Richard
Richard has a story of amazing success. He grew up in the village where his mother worked at a local farm. His father was a taxi driver, but the car broke down and he has not been able to repair it yet. Off of one income his parents are supporting many children as well as renting a small house in town for Richard and his brother to stay in while they go to school. The family struggles to support many children as well as rent a house, pay school fees, get uniforms, and school supplies. Sponsoring Richard would not only support him, but it would greatly help his family.
Richie
Richard, who goes by Richie, is a super cute boy who absolutely loves to play soccer. He comes across as this sweet and gentle boy when you first meet him, and then to see him on the soccer field is a totally different side of him. Richie’s father passed away a few years ago after being killed by an elephant. Richie lives with his mother and 3 siblings. His mother works when she can find work, but this makes it difficult for her to send her children to school, especially Richard because he is the last born. Sponsoring Richie would dramatically change his life and the life of his family.
