Hello, my name is Anne-marie, I am a 22 year old Zambian girl, studying Economics and Finance in Vancouver, Canada.

Last summer, I took some time out to visit my mother, who lives back home in Zambia. During this time, I was pleasantly surprised to meet a new addition to our extended family; Muntanga. Muntanga is a smiley, friendly and polite 9 year old girl who lives with her large family in the the Zambian countryside. 

Although she is just 9 years old, she has already lived an incredibly brutal life. Her stepmom regularly beats her, and forces her to partake in chores, which are way beyond her ability and age. Resultantly, my mother, an incredibly loving lady, has made the noble decision to provide free education for Muntanga, so that she may endure a brighter and better future, away from the difficulties faced at home.

Muntanga has been funny, sweet, motivated and kind; a quick and enthusiastic learner, who is an absolute pleasure to be around. Although she has only spent a short time with my mother, her confidence has already increased dramatically, and her ability to solve problems never ceases to amaze us.

Unfortunately, the difficult economic climate of recent years, has hit the general population in Zambia hard, applying enormous pressure on my mothers attempts in providing free education for Muntanga. This breaks my mums heart, not because she struggles to live, but because she is faced with the incredible real possibility that she may have to let Muntanga down.

What We Need & What You Get


$4,500 is needed in order to send Muntanga to school, to buy her a uniform, a pair  of  shoes, books and all the other necessities children need to learn. A proportion of the money will be used to feed her and pay for her health care, whilst the remaining funds will support living and transportation costs. 

A number of perks are available for your support, this includes:

•$5 Virtual high five

•$20 Handwritten thank you letter from my mother and Muntanga.

•$50 A photo of Muntanga holding your name.

•$100 My mother will telephone / Skype you so you can speak to Muntanga 

•$200 I will sing for you via Skype.

•$300 Skype meeting with Muntanga showing her school report card

•$4500 A chance to meet Muntanga in person

Our ultimate goal is to give Muntanga a normal, privately educated upbringing, away from the difficulties faced at home.

All contributions, no matter how big or small go a long way in helping us reach our goals.

The Impact

During my childhood, my mother taught me to believe that education has a wonderful ability in changing not one persons life, but entire communities Muntanga, given the proper love and support that a child deserves, can rise above her current circumstances, and grow into a kind and thoughtful woman, armoured with the skills necessary to move forward from her past.

With your help, we can build a better future for Muntanga; increasing the likelihood that she may one day feel compelled to give something back to society. One life saved goes a long way… With your help and support, we can change the life of a young girl for the better. 

Thank you for your time, with all my love,

Anne Marie
