Welcome to the Lusaka Child Development Agency (LKCDA), a non-profit organisation established in 2008 through the merger of three Family Helper Projects: Tiyanjane, Luumuno, and Ng’ombe. Since then, LKCDA has remained dedicated to improving the lives of children, youth, and families in more than 10 vulnerable communities across Lusaka. Our work is grounded in community-driven approaches that prioritise sustainability, local ownership, and the protection of children’s rights.
Vulnerable learners received school requisites: books, bags, shoes, and fees, easing the burden on families and supporting continued learning.
Radio campaigns reached community members with messages on abuse prevention, child marriage, and exploitation.
Adolescents reached with sexual and reproductive health messages.
Children registered through mass birth registration campaigns.
School-going children supported through WFP’s Home-Grown School Feeding Project to improve nutrition and education in Lusaka District.
