Support Members and Club Cares rally to raise much needed funds
Salem Children’s Village (SCV) is the brain child of the Gospel Sports Outreach Program back on 1.3.2001, where the main purpose was to rehabilitate and integrate street children and youths from the streets of Zambia. SCV helps these children and youths through education, psychosocial counselling, food & shelter, clothing and finally re-integration into families and the community.
SCV is located on former grounds of the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines sports ground in Mindolo North Township in Kitwe, Copperbelt Province of Zambia. The grounds now have a number of classrooms, a utilities shed, storage shed and some meagre accommodation for up to 70 boys.
Support Members rallied to raise funds in WA before we left. Club Cares then matched generously, ($3,620). This generous donation allowed a installation of a bore pump on a bore sunk by UNICEF about 5 years earlier.
