Action for Children Zambia

Action for Children~Zambia (AFCZ) is a multi-national non-profit organization dedicated to helping the children living and dying on the streets in Zambia. Our organization is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States and as an NGO in Zambia, and has attracted dedicated volunteers and supporters from countries all over the world. Since our founding in 2005, we have helped 200 children leave and stay off the streets.

AFCZ is unique among similar organizations in our dedication to keeping the children we care for connected to and involved in their communities in Zambia, as well as our focus on family-style life. We believe that in order for a child to successfully transition into leading a productive life, he or she must have roots in the communities they will be returning to.
