We Help Educate

Hi everyone!!!My name is Sara and a year ago I left to do Civil Service in Ndola, Zambia. In this area, the Pope John XXIII Community Association has been there for 30 years to give educational, psychological, nutritional and family support to so many children and young people living in vulnerable conditions. "Cicetekelo" is the name of this project and it means hope in bemba, which is the local language.Today we need YOU!Currently, the children accepted into the project have the opportunity to attend elementary school in the Association's center and then continue their studies in outside government schools. However, we would like to give the boys the opportunity to continue with higher studies always within the protected environment created by the Community. This is because during adolescence it is easier to decide to drop out of studies and return to the streets, either to follow negative influences or to help one's family. It is difficult to see a clear future offered by a good education; it is not as concrete or immediate as doing odd jobs for a few coins.Just to be able to provide continuity in studies there is a need to create new classrooms, buy books, train teachers and rearrange the library.We need all the support we can get to make this dream come true. Every small gesture can make a difference.So come on, are you in?

Hi everyone!!!

My name is Sara and a year ago I left to do Civil Service in Ndola, Zambia. In this area, the Pope John XXIII Community Association has been there for 30 years to give educational, psychological, nutritional and family support to so many children and young people living in vulnerable conditions. "Cicetekelo" is the name of this project and it means hope in bemba, which is the local language.


Today we need YOU!


Currently, the children accepted into the project have the opportunity to attend elementary school in the Association's center and then continue their studies in outside government schools. However, we would like to give the boys the opportunity to continue with higher studies always within the protected environment created by the Community. This is because during adolescence it is easier to decide to drop out of studies and return to the streets, either to follow negative influences or to help one's family. It is difficult to see a clear future offered by a good education; it is not as concrete or immediate as doing odd jobs for a few coins.

Just to be able to provide continuity in studies there is a need to create new classrooms, buy books, train teachers and rearrange the library.

We need all the support we can get to make this dream come true. Every small gesture can make a difference.

The fundraiser supports the project: Support school projects for Cicetekelo children
Total project goal: 8.000 €

In Zambia, the Pope John XXIII Community's Cicetekelo Project is dedicated to welcoming and caring for street children and young people living in hardship and poverty. Here, every year, we try to improve the educational services offered to give more and more children and young people the opportunity to become protagonists of their own lives. To do this we need to buy new materials and activate new school projects-now we need everyone's help! Come on, are you in?
