Zambia: Camp Ciyanjano
Kids and Staff at Ciyanjano
ACTION Zambia has developed a 20-acre property just 15 km from downtown Lusaka. Our mission is to provide local churches, especially those in poor areas of the capital city, with an affordable facility for Christian camps and conferences. It is also used as a training ground for the Champs Program, which equips youth with evangelism skills to share with other youth.
The camp includes the Ripley Center, which is used for retreats, conferences, and training. There is a larger campground area that sleeps around 150 people, with an outdoor chapel, five camping chalets, an outdoor kitchen, a large restroom and shower building, and a playground.
Ciyanjano is partially self-sustaining through its maize (corn) shelling and hammer mill business and hiring the facilities out to local churches and Christian NGOs.
Camp Ciyanjano is a vital ministry for ACTION Zambia and a significant service to the community. It offers a multitude of opportunities to fellowship, train, and rest that is unusual in this part of the world. Supporting the camp and its activities is a way of significantly caring for God’s people in an area of the world that is challenging and in need of opportunity. Operating this large facility is costly due to maintenance and staffing requirements.
