Beyond Ourselves has formed partnerships with community schools in the Copperbelt region of Zambia to help with the education of children from orphaned and vulnerable backgrounds.
Our initial relationship was with Janna School based in Ndola. Stephen James staff built the classroom block for the school in 2008 and in November 2009 Beyond Ourselves took an Admin team out to register all of the children attending for a Sponsorship Programme. The programme began in May 2010 and supports the Children’s education by assisting with the Teachers’ salaries, providing a health programme whereby a Nurse visits the school each week and a Feeding Programme that ensures that all of the Children get a meal every school day.
Beautiful Gate School in Kitwe is rather more established than Janna and has been brought under the Beyond Ourselves umbrella due to the connection with members of the Beyond Ourselves team who have supported Beautiful Gate for a number of years. In November 2010 a Beyond Ourselves team that included Stephen James staff and friends registered the children in Grades 1 to 6 at Beautiful Gate in preparation for the Sponsorship Programme, which is starting in January 2011.
Our third school partnership is with Greater Joy School, which is based in Chimwemwe just outside of Kitwe. In October 2010 Stephen James sent some of their staff on 2 teams to build the structure of the rather huge 5-classroom block. The Sponsorship Programme at Greater Joy will start in Spring 2011.
We have also started an Alternative Gifts programme on the Beyond Ourselves website to help meet some of the immediate needs families in the community have. However, we at Beyond Ourselves believe that giving Aid alone does not help build a sustainable future so we are also working to empower the Zambian people by helping to provide employment and business opportunities so that they can create their own income.
