Behind stacks of old bricks and inside unsafe, temporary shelters, many children in Kifumbira are growing up without what most of us call home. For them, survival comes before comfort, and hope is something they learn early to hold onto.
The image above shows children gathered in a small, crowded space surrounded by bricks. This is not a classroom. It is not a play area. For many, it is where they sleep, eat, and spend most of their days.
Life for Homeless Children in Kifumbira
In Kifumbira village, poverty has forced many families into extremely difficult living conditions. Children often lack safe shelter, regular meals, and access to education. Some sleep in unfinished structures, others stay wherever space is available, exposed to health risks and danger.
Despite these challenges, the children continue to smile, talk, and care for one another. Their strength is inspiring, but strength alone is not enough. They need support, protection, and opportunity.
Why This Situation Exists
Unemployment, rising living costs, and limited access to resources have left many families unable to provide basic necessities. Children are the most affected. Without help, they risk dropping out of school, falling sick, or ending up on the streets permanently.
This is why Kifumbira Community Hope Initiative exists — to step in where help is needed most.

- Providing food support to reduce hunger
