Zambia

In the country of Zambia, approximately 300 people continue to die each day from the AIDS virus. While the virus spreads throughout Zambia, the family structure and stability is progressively weakened and countless children have become orphaned. This country, roughly the size of Texas, has about 750,000 orphans—that’s more orphans than any other country in the world. Engedi is committed to a one-on-one partnership with the Valley View Care Givers Club and Choma Central Pilgrim Wesleyan Church in Choma, Zambia. Together we are working to develop the Choma community through local enterprise, community health, sustainable living programs, education and awareness. Our hope is that together we can alleviate suffering and injustice and spread the love of Christ throughout the community.

We also partners with Living Water International to bring clean drinking water to Zambia through Thirst. Living Water International is a faith-based organization dedicated to bring water—and the living water of Christ—to thirsty people in areas of greatest need. That’s something we can all get behind.
