Programs
AGCPI supports community-led work in Ndola, Zambia through three connected areas: education, skills training, and trauma healing.
We began with one small school. Over time it became clear that schooling alone was not enough. Families were carrying burdens that shaped what children could absorb, how consistently they could attend, and what life felt like at home. At the same time, many young adults had few pathways to earn, build skills, or regain direction.
So the work widened, not by adding separate projects, but by strengthening the conditions that make stability possible.
How Our Programs Fit Together
Our programs are designed to reinforce one another.
Education gives children a reliable place to learn and grow. Skills training expands practical options for youth and adults. Trauma healing helps restore steadiness in families and relationships, which supports both learning and livelihood.
This is not a set of disconnected services. It is one approach, implemented locally, with long-term partnership.
Education
All Is Grace School provides primary education for children in the community, along with daily meals and basic learning supplies. The school is more than a classroom. It is a consistent environment where children can feel safe, seen, and supported.
Skills Training
Skills training creates practical pathways toward income and self-reliance. Workshops are rooted in real trades and taught through hands-on learning, including areas such as tailoring, carpentry, and crafts.
For many participants, the goal is not a certificate. It is competence, confidence, and the ability to provide.
Trauma Healing
Trauma healing work creates space for honest reflection, emotional awareness, and rebuilding inner stability. This includes group conversations and workshops that support participants in understanding patterns that may be shaping family life, relationships, and decision-making.
When adults become steadier, children benefit. When households become safer, education becomes more possible. The effects spread quietly, but they spread.
Why This Approach Matters
We do not bring outside solutions and leave. We work alongside local leadership and grow from within the community.
A child learns best when home is stable. A parent is more able to support a child when stress is understood and shared. A young adult is more able to move forward when practical skills and inner resilience develop together.
That is why these three areas are held as one program, not three separate projects.
