ABOUT US

Mirriam Mambwe Rural Scholarship Foundation is based in chanyanya village which is about 35km away from kafue town. It has been in existence for a year and has over 100 children on the program which includes provision of quality education and rural outreach programs. Our mission is to create a platform that pays particular attention to the inclusion of education to rural children providing them with the same opportunities as those in the city without living anyone behind. In 2025, we will include over 500 vulnerable rural children on the program and empower them with right information as well as equip them with the materials needed for their education to run smooth. We will intensify the outreach program to ensure that the children’s wellbeing is prioritized and also school motivation which is currently running every 3 months to promote increase in awareness of a better life beyond what the eyes can see within their reach.

What We Do

We go to schools across the entire village including the ones on the island to speak to children on the importance of education accompanied by the ones that have successfully completed and are working in different parts of the country. We provide school related materials for school going children starting from the age of 5 who are enrolled in pre-schools and we source for their scholarships to facilitate education.
