Bwafwano Care Providers

We have targeted 9 communities (6) communities in Kitwe and (3) communities in Kalulushi where most orphans and vulnerable children and the disabled lack education due to lack of support as they are coming from grandmother or PLWHA headed households. There is a high rate of malnutrition among children under the age of five (5). Some youths have dropped out of school due to lack of financial support and some have never seen the inside of a classroom because their caregivers cannot afford to send them to school which has resulted in promiscuity, child marriages, child, drug, and sexual abuse among the youths. Out of 47 Government Schools, Kitwe has only 8 schools that have Special Units and they are scattered. Kalulushi has only one school. Most children and youths with disabilities have been neglected by their families and do not access any type of education. The organization also lacks its own Centre which has resulted in changing locations thus adversely affecting the smooth running of programs and provision of quality service.
