We are thrilled to announce that Bridge of Hope is supporting A Future 4 Kids School in Ndola, Zambia. Located 200 miles north of Lusaka, Ndola is a community where access to education, healthcare, and basic resources are limited. Through our partnership, we aim to bring lasting change to the lives of the school’s 215 students, many of whom are orphans or come from extremely impoverished backgrounds.
About A Future 4 Kids School
Founded 15 years ago by Zambian businesswoman Joyce Chimbila, A Future 4 Kids School began with a simple mission: to bring education to the underserved children of Ndola. Joyce started this school after realizing that 35 of the 58 children in her Bible study class had never set foot in a classroom. Since then, the school has grown from just eight students to 215, providing critical services beyond education. Today, it offers meals, uniforms, medical care, and vocational training, serving as a crucial support system for children who would otherwise have little hope of a future.
Why We’re Fundraising: Building a New Vocational Workshop
in 2026, we are joining together with an Australian team to fundraise for a new project at A Future 4 Kids School: the construction of a vocational workshop. This dedicated space will enable the school to teach hands-on skills like construction, woodwork, and metalwork. With these skills, older students can gain qualifications that will help them secure jobs and become self-sufficient.
The estimated total cost of the workshop is £30,000, with the first phase – constructing the walls – budgeted at £2,200 which Bridge of Hope has already fund raised for.
By using locally made concrete bricks and employing semi-skilled local labour, the school is keeping costs down while also supporting the local economy. Our goal is to raise enough funds to complete this essential project, equipping students with valuable skills and a path toward financial independence.
A Beacon of Hope and Success
For many students, A Future 4 Kids School is their only hope for education, nourishment, and healthcare. It has already achieved incredible milestones: four of its original students have progressed to university, an inspiring accomplishment for young people from such challenging backgrounds. This success story is a testament to the power of education and the school’s dedication to providing students with opportunities to thrive.
