About

Here at Cherish Life Foundation, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all. Cherish Life Foundation believes that one of the best ways to transform communities is to empower people. We work with those who are socially and economically marginalized to support them to be better aware of their human rights and to become self-reliant. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact with all of our pursuits.

We focus our efforts on the following four Development principles.

We raise awareness of human rights and the role of duty bearers
We empower people/communities
We promote cooperation and solidarity
We ensure that 100% of our programmes focus on significantly advancing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through gender equality and inclusion by tackling the root causes of discrimination

What We Do

Meaningful Work. Unforgettable Experiences.

Child Protection

With this initiative, our goal is to promote great opportunities for those in need. We, as Cherish Life Foundation, believe that every child should be ensured of their right to education, health, and be free from child abuse and exploitation. Sadly, in most parts of Zambia, especially girls are still very vulnerable to unjust social and cultural practices such as female circumcision, forced or early marriage, and sexual exploitation.
Through the development of community based child protection systems, we promote child rights awareness and help parents and communities better protect their children. We also believe that child protection is the responsibility of every parent, biological or not; therefore we seek to promote child protection policies from community level to national level.

Education/Empowerment

With our organization’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with this challenge. Education is an essential human right that enables individuals to develop their own abilities and improve their quality of life. However, gaining access to quality education remains a challenge to those vulnerable within the society, especially girls. Globally, less than 40% of countries provide girls and boys with equal access to education and girls are more likely to never enter primary school than boys.
Children with mothers who are educated, are more likely to have higher levels of education and better health. It is estimated that a child born to a mother who can read is 50% more likely to survive past the age of 5. Therefore, the more women are educated, the greater the likelihood that their homes and communities are free from poverty.
There is also the issue of adults lacking basic literacy skills such as reading, writing or numeracy skills essential for everyday life due to the lack of education at an earlier stage in their lives. There are still 750 million illiterate adults in this world, two thirds of whom are women. We assist these people to gain basic life skills so that they can make proactive decisions in everyday life..

Health Clinic /Pregnancy Alternatives

At Cherish Life Foundation, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing this issue. Early marriages, HIV/AIDS education and Prevention, climate change, domestic violence and abuse, youth friendly services, sexual purity and reproductive health services based on Biblical principles is by no means an easy feat, but through cooperation and community empowerment we believe we can facilitate progress in this area.

The licensed, counsellors, medical professionals and the specially trained volunteer Client Advocates provide pregnancy services, including pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STD testing and referrals, Prenatal Care, and Well-Woman Visits. The Education Center at CLF also offers prayers, post-abortion counselling and healing, prenatal, lactation, and parenting classes, as well as maternal and infant assistance.

We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.
