FAMILY LEGACY MISSIONS INTERNATIONAL

We seek to alleviate this physical and spiritual poverty through our sponsorship program and mission trip experiences.

We connect American families to these children to alleviate both physical and spiritual poverty. We seek to transform the nation of Zambia into a lighthouse for Africa through sharing the Gospel of Jesus, providing high-quality private education, and by placing it's most vulnerable children in a safe home and community.

Camp Life proclaims the gospel to Zambian children through American and Zambian camp counselors. Our sponsorship program empowers children through the power of Christian education at Legacy Academies and full-time residential care at the Tree of Life Children's Village. Family Legacy also helps young adults get into University and trade programs.

Family Legacy is committed to long-term transformation of the nation of Zambia. We believe that children who are extremely vulnerable or have lost parents are not only in need of assistance and support to impact their physical circumstances, but also in need of the love and care of a family. These children need hope.

At Camp Life, we have 650 Americans not only engage alongside of one another in a life-changing service experience, they also develop a long-term commitment to bringing about change in the lives of these children. The Americans who come to Zambia dedicate themselves to sponsoring children, raising funds for schools and homes, and to bringing new families to Zambia for subsequent mission trips. While our ultimate strategy for alleviating poverty for these children is through a child sponsorship program, providing a high quality education through our private schools, and rescue to our children's village for the most at-risk children, we strongly believe that it is the engagement of these American participants that equips our ministry to execute on these strategies.

We have approximately 950 African staff that do the work of educating, providing spiritual discipleship, feeding, counseling, and providing medical care to our nearly 14,000 students in 24 schools.

Led by our African Country Director and African Associate Country Director, we have developed an organization that we believe impacts our nearly 14,000 children in a holistic way.

We have over 9,000 stakeholders, donors, board members, and volunteers that help us both financially and practically fulfill our mission.
