Partner Overview
Samfya Community of Care Providers (SCCP) is a community-based organization started by 24 churches of different denominations in the Samfya District of Luapula Province. In massive efforts they have worked in great unity to bring about great transformation to this impoverished community.
In 2010, 152 church volunteers provided specialized care to the 3,300 direct beneficiaries of SCCP's programs. Through the Education and Scholarship Department, 813 OVCs were supplied with school requirements and school fees.
In Home Based Care Department, 136 people living with HIV/AIDS were assisted with medical care, food and microloans and thousands of Samfyans were able to receive free medicine from the local clinic through donated shipments.
In the Micro Loan Department, 813 individuals have received microloans so far and have access to credit for the economic benefit of their families. Through Church Mobilization and Children's Ministries, 130 youth and 1,203 young children accepted Christ as their Savior in Samfya in 2010.
After several years of partnership and due to the great success several communities throughout Zambia are replicating the SCCP model. Bright Hope is partnering with three of these new communities. Check out more about Chipako, Mbabala and Christian Foundations.
