423 and counting!

Orphans in the Isubilo grief support program enjoying a game at Chipulukusu


The good news is out! The success of our amazing grief support program for orphans is being noted around the world from China to India to Zambia to the Philippines!

The article, Assessment of Emotional Status of Orphans and Vulnerable Children, published in the referred Journal of Nursing Scholarship,  has had 423 reads and 41 citations from professionals.  We are hoping others will replicate the program and experience the same wild success the Kafwa have found in helping grieving orphans through support groups.

Over 100 children find healing and renewed hope each year with their beloved Mama Madams who tirelessly and passionately run the programs.  We have run into one problem, however.  The kids don't want to 'graduate' from the group at the end of the 13-week program.  The Kafwa are pondering the possibility of establishing a follow-up program.
