Cecilys Fund

General information

Tens of thousands of Zambian children have lost one or both parents to AIDS related illnesses; others have parents who are too ill to earn a living - so they can't afford an education. We work with well-run Zambian partner organisations to provide these children with shoes, uniforms, books, equipment and fees, so that they can to go to school like any other child. There, they get support from teachers and friends, skills to earn a living and information about how to stay healthy. We also help some of them to train as teachers or peer health educators and pass on the life-saving gift of knowledge. Our work is focused solely in Kitwe and Lusaka, Zambia where HIV rates are particularly high. Cecily's Fund is a UK registered charity - no 1071660. We have two sister organisations linking us with supporters in the United States and Switzerland.
