Bush Fire care and support for orphans

Bush fire Ministries is a chriatian a Zambian registered organisation formed in the year 2005 with the primary goal of providing care and support to the orphans and vulnerable children in society using the following intevention strategies:

1.Provision of educational support through the christian school and supporting those who have managed to go to the universities
2. Provision of nutritional / food supplements to the orphans at the orphanage
3.Skills training for the most vulnerable children from the community affected by HIV/AIDS
4. Provision of material items which includes clothes, shoes, bedings and  basic health support
5. Community empowerment skills which includes training community members in the strengthening of African extended family support to orphans

The orphange is currently helping 70 who are in residence and 200 children coming from the community to Bush Fire Christian school, during the lessons teachers identify the most vulnerable children whom they put on the Psycho social counselling and enjoy the supplementary food which is being provided to them.
The orphanage is also involved in the provision of christian education both to the orphaned children and members of the community .

Bush Fire Ministries has great potential in the provision of care and support to the orphans since it has the vast land about 88 hectors and a stream , therefore, developing close relationships with individuals, churches, organisations even companies will be something that will benefit the target group .

Since we have the vast land , we have plans to do the following:
1. Banana plantation
2. Poultrly
3.Piggerly
4.Fish farming
5. Extention of the christian school to the youth skills training school which will also help the community members.

All the designed activities will benefit the orphans and vulnerable children to find their true identity in life, and realize their worth in the LORD.

For this reason Bush Fire Ministries would like to have exparts in the mentioned fields to help orphans and vulnerable children including the community members.

DEMAND FROM THE COMMUNITY

Bush Fire Ministries is situated in the peri - urban area like a farming area where most of the young people are forced into early marriages after the death of their parents as the result of HIV/AIDS related  . Extended family members fail to cope up with the current economic state , so the orphaned children choose to work in the farms, go in the streets as street children, get involved in commecial sex and child labour instead of being in school.

Therefore, Bush Fire Ministries have programmes to sensitize community members on the importance of orphans being in school and the promotion of education to the girl child.

By providing the Psycho social support (PSS) to the orphaned children Bush  Fire Ministries has also been involved  in Christian Education , the church is based at the same plot where services are conducted both to the orphans and members from the community. That has made the ministry to add value to the community and the lives of the most vulnerable children.
