Joy at Greater Joy
Whilst in Zambia this past month, I (Jodie) caught up with the School Directors, Ospeck and Angelina Sichilongo (pictured), to find out how things are going at the school.
Having an impact ‘beyond ourselves’!
Through our Community Impact Fund we are thrilled to be able to bless community schools and organisations who are also doing work in Zambia which is aligned with our heart and vision . It’s our way of going beyond ourselves and ensuring the impact we have here in Zambia is greater than what we could have on our own.
Copperbelt Rollout!

A new season for Beyond Ourselves
Today marks the end of an era for us and a step in to the new.
The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2021
We were delighted to take part in The Big Give Christmas Challenge 30th November- 7th December.
It was the fourth year we have joined in with the match-funding campaign. Yet again, thanks to everyone’s generosity we exceeded our fundraising target of £15,000 and raised a total of £18,199.11.

A huge thank you to everyone who gave to this fantastic campaign helping us to deliver much needed literacy training in Zambia.

We recently sat down with the pastor and founder of the school, Moses Tembo, to talk about the need in the community and the impact this school building will have. Pastoring a church in Kamatipa brought a […]
Dignity Day
In Zambia, most parents are not as available and free to talk to the girl child on issues affecting them. The only time a parent, through an aunt, speaks to the girl child is when the child reaches puberty or is about to get married. And this is mainly restricted to how to enhance their […]
