Zambia: Ciyanjano Bible Clubs
In a country where children are generally marginalized by society, including within the Church, these Bible Clubs and the Teen Study serve kids that are both physically and spiritually needy. The children come from the rural area surrounding Ciyanjano, where subsistence farming and seasonal piece work is the primary source of income. Many homes have a single parent, usually a single mother, with one income earner. Most households in the community claim to be Christians, but few have regular church attendance. Due to high prevalence of HIV and early loss of life, coupled with family expectations, many households care for orphans or vulnerable children from their extended families.
