Transforming Lives: Bauleni Special Needs Project Empowering Zambia’s Youths
Sister Yvonne Mwila Mwalula of the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary and Country Representative for the Bauleni Special Needs project and all projects in Lusaka, Zambia on 6th June, 2024.
“Sometimes the families have no hope that their children or young adults will actually have something (to do) in life. But when they come here, we receive them, we accept them as they are, and we start from where they are, and we empower them with the skills of their own interest”.
Bauleni Special Needs Project is dedicated to providing quality education and life skills training to children with special needs in Lusaka and beyond. Founded by the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the project emphasizes respect, compassion, and human dignity, inspired by the words of their founder.
The project focuses on inclusive education for children with disabilities, offering tailored skills training in areas like agriculture, fashion design, and food production. With the support of various donors, the project has helped empower many youth, enabling them to live independently and pursue employment or small businesses.
