Welcome
We support and protect vulnerable children by providing them with quality education
assistance, basic food and counselling services including psychosocial support. We decided
that it is best to care for children in their natural habitat, as they live in their homes, instead of
institutional care.
Light of Life Christian Group (LLCG) is a private voluntary organization developing
programs and projects to help vulnerable children in Zimbabwe, Southern Africa. LLCG is a
non-profit organization that empowers children in need of care and protection because of loss
of parents, poverty or neglect, to become productive members of the community.
We aim to significantly contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of
promoting good education, zero hunger, no poverty, good health and well-being, gender
equality and climate action. We are also contributing to social protection for all in the
National Development Goals (NDS1).
1.1. Education
Education is at the heart of LLCGs’ mission. We support local communities in their efforts
to ensure that children – including the most vulnerable and marginalized – have the right to a
quality education. We assist by providing school fees, uniforms and other supporting
materials from primary school, secondary school to tertiary level.
1.2. Basic Food
Besides the health and nutrition benefits, our basic food support has become invaluable in
enabling children to continue their education without struggling to find food each day. We
provide mealie-meal, sugar beans, cooking oil and washing soap which are basic essentials
that we give to our children under our care and enable them to focus on their education.
1.3. Counselling
Our counseling services offer children the opportunity to identify the factors that contribute
to the difficulties they face and to find solutions to effectively manage psychological,
behavioral, interpersonal and situational causes of those challenges. We assist vulnerable
children to find solutions that empower and protect them by providing information on:
• Child protection
• Psychosocial support
• Career guidance
One of the main benefits of our counselling support program for children is that it teaches
them how to effectively manage emotional distress and anxiety.
