Mitenge Village Secondary School

From the laying of a cement block footing for the foundation to the building of the initial three room secondary school, AFSIA was able to add another wing onto the school for 6 more classrooms in 2025 to accommodate additional grade levels and students.   In rural areas, after completing primary school, students must leave their homes in the village to attend school in the nearest city, away from the protection of family.  Offering a secondary school in the village, allows students to stay at home to complete their high school education.  Our school building is also used for the government healthcare workers to make monthly visits to the community who are unable to make the long walk into town, for church and prayer meetings, and for village elder and community farming meetings.

AWANA Bible Programs for Children

Our AWANA programs meet every Saturday in 5 different town and village locations in Zambia, reaching over 500 children and their families. Through our AWANA programs many children come to understand the message of the Gospel and receive Christ and learn to walk in His ways. We also are able to pray with their parents who may struggle with the issues poverty brings. We also are able to help with humanitarian medical or food emergencies which arise in the impoverished families of these kids.

AFSIA looks forward to building a playground

Bible Camp

Students love to attend our annual Bible Camp for 4 weeks during their break from school at the end of each year.   Many of these students have lived very difficult lives, losing parents, siblings and close friends, and experience many set backs and disappointments in life and come from homes where they often do not have enough to eat each day.  At camp they are fed three meals a day, meet other orphans from around Zambia, participate in service team projects and learn practical skills they can bring home to their villages and families. With leadership training and learning about God's love for them, they are inspired to know that they are valuable and can make a difference in their communities.

Elderly Service Projects

Many elderly people have been abandoned or orphaned when their adult children die prematurely with diseases like malaria, TB, or HIV, and then they are left alone to fend for themselves. Elderly people often are uneducated and not skilled to support themselves apart from the hard labor of growing their own food and hauling their own water from far distances.  They live in homes without running water or toilets, and sleep on the floor, and then also have the added responsibility of caring for orphaned grandchildren.   These elderly people are so grateful for the support of occasional gifts of food to supplement their gardening efforts, And AFSIA sponsors student led opportunities to serve the elderly with yard work to maintain their surroundings, or donations of a mattress, clothing or other practical needs. We have also built small homes for or repaired dangerously uninhabitable living spaces for the elderly when needed.

In July of 2026, With the help of Kids Around the World, AFSIA will be building a playground at our school in Mitenge Village. There will be a preschool area and an area for older kids. This will be so exciting as there are very few playgrounds in Zambia!! If you are interested in volunteering on the team which will install the playground, please email Jamie at AdvocatesForSuccessInAfrica@gmail.com And please consider donating to this large project to help us with this expensive which will bring many people from the far reaching community to our location to hear more about Jesus.

UNiversity Education SPonsorship

In 2025, AFSIA is sponsoring 15 students in university courses for nursing, business, midwifery, agriculture, education, medicine, along with 8 students in Bible School. Without out help none of these students would be able to advance in their education past grade 12 and become a self sufficient part of society.
