🏫Help Empower a Community Through Education and Care🌍
The experience
Hello and welcome! My name is Julius Sinkala, I’m 32 years old and the proud founder of a grassroots NGO and school in a disadvantaged community on the outskirts of Zambia.
My vision is simple but powerful: to give every child the opportunity to learn. Many children in our area face challenges that prevent them from attending school—but we are changing that, one student at a time.
