Every penny donated to the charity goes to help the vulnerable children we support in Zambia, with no admin fees deducted.
MAD4Kids is a UK registered charity, number 1180390.
These photographs offer a glimpse of the school communities, children, and practical support that supporters help make possible.
Education
Good Samaritan Ministries School in Lusaka provides a free education for some of the poorest children in Zambia's capital. MAD4Kids is the school's main benefactor and funds, among other things, teachers' salaries.
In rural areas, the charity has also funded teachers' houses at Namununga School and accommodation at Malomo School so schools can recruit and keep teachers.
Clean water and sanitation
New or upgraded water supplies have been installed at all the schools we support, including boreholes, solar-powered pumps, and networks of taps that serve both schools and surrounding communities.
Where sanitation has been inadequate, the charity has also funded new toilet facilities, including at Malama and Hamunyangwa schools.
Feeding
In Lusaka, the charity funds the daily feeding programme for up to 450 children at Good Samaritan Ministries School.
In rural schools, feeding programmes are supplemented by produce from purpose-built, fenced gardens funded by MAD4Kids, with water supplies and space to grow maize, vegetables, and fruit.
Classrooms
The charity funds individual building, renovation, and maintenance projects at different schools so facilities are safe and meet needs identified by each school.
That includes practical improvements that help schools create better day-to-day conditions for children and staff.
