Children on the streets Lusaka need a chance.

“I want to be a farmer” said one, “I want to be a shop keeper” said another… hard to believe that these children feel people think they are “animals” when they look at them.
During the trip to Zambia earlier this month, Danny and Chris spent some time meeting some amazing guys who have ended up fighting for survival on the streets of Lusaka.
Guided by a project worker from Fountain of Hope, who himself was a former child living on the streets, Danny and Chris went to see a group based behind Soweto Market. At 9:30pm on a dark hot evening, this probably was not the safest place for two British guys to go. Added to the fact that this is the place a large group of young guys high on glue call home. However as time went by the group of guys sat down and listened to what the team had to say. All Star Kids is working together with Fountain of Hope and our project workers Japhet and Charley, to provide opportunities for these young people. The conversation showed it is simply that, these young people have been
denied the opportunity of growing up in a safe loving environment living in a place only the toughest can survive. But as you speak to these young people and you hear them telling you they have “potential” and have plans for the future of being shop keepers, farmers, business managers you realise someone needs to give them a chance.
All Star Kids is starting to do this, but we need you to help them have a chance. Your donation of just £25 could help our project worker begin to give children like these an opportunity or education and skills training.
