Sustainable Business

You can help prevent orphans by strengthening families and creating jobs through sustainable business that employ orphan graduates and build ongoing community development.

Beyond our mission to educate, feed, and disciple vulnerable children in Zambia, Lifesong is also passionate about providing sustainable business opportunities. These opportunities allow us to work side-by-side with Zambians as we get involved in various business ventures, all with the goal of having businesses that can sustain themselves and the ministry.

Each business offers fair wages for employees, creates career opportunities for Lifesong graduates, and supports orphan care projects such as Lifesong schools and safe homes.
