Alan Kerins Projects

Seven out of 11 million Zambians survive on 74 cents a day. The official figure for Aids sufferers in Zambia puts the national percentage at 16% with nearly 100,000 people dying of Aids annually. The Alan Kerins Projects provide water, food, education, housing and medical care to those worst affected in Western Zambia.

In  2010 our projects include the building of 5 schoolrooms and toilet facilities in the Kaoma Community School and a water/sanitation project for the Kaoma Orphanage. Over 800 orphans and vulnerable children will benefit from these initiatives. We are also setting up a block-making enterprise that will generate employment and provide income for the running of the Kaoma orphanage.

In our other location in Mongu, we are building an education centre and  number of income-generating guesthouses to help fund the Cheshire Home for the physically disabled – the only facility of its type in an area 4 times the size of Ireland.
