Cicetekelo needs you!
On the streets of Zambia, hundreds of children and teenagers face hunger, violence, and neglect every day. The Cicetekelo project run by the Pope John XXIII Community provides food, shelter, schooling, and vocational training to over 500 children and youth each year. Our goal is to raise €8,000 to provide hot meals and school supplies. Help us give them a real chance at a better future!
On the streets of Ndola, Zambia, countless children and teenagers struggle every day against neglect, hunger, and the danger of falling into the trap of addiction. For them, life on the streets is no game—it’s a struggle for survival. The Cicetekelo Youth Project (CYP) is their lifeline: a safe space where they can find protection, a hot meal, and a real chance to build a dignified future. We don’t simply offer temporary help; we walk alongside them to restore to each one the fundamental right to dream and grow up free.
A Home Where They Can Start Over
Your help for these children is essential
You can support this project in two ways:Other ways to donate:
For nearly thirty years, Cicetekelo has been a beacon of hope for over 500 children and young people each year. Here, thanks to the staff, volunteers, and missionaries of the Community who have chosen to live among the poor, every young person finds their own path. Welcoming them means, first and foremost, meeting their most urgent needs: clean water, food, medical care, and hygiene.
But real change begins with education. We provide uniforms, books, and the academic support needed to enable them to attend school. Through sports, they also learn the value of respect and teamwork. Furthermore, through vocational training courses and internships, we guide the older children toward real jobs, so they never have to return to the streets.
Every day we prepare about 350 hot meals so that no one goes hungry, but requests for help are increasing and our resources are never enough. Without your support, we cannot reach all those children who are still living on the streets. We need €8,000 to ensure we can provide hot meals, school supplies, protection, and the dignity of an educational path to a child who has no one. Don’t look the other way. Support Cicetekelo today: together, we can rescue another child from the streets and give them the future they deserve.
- Start a personal fundraiser and help us reach many new people we wouldn’t otherwise be able to reach by asking your friends, family, and colleagues to support you with a donation.
- Donate to an existing personal fundraiser: any contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference.
You can also donate via bank transfer or postal money order.
