Mission Statement

The Mission of All Kids Can Learn International, Inc. is to bring together the resources needed to raise a child from the cradle to Christian adult citizenship in their own country. AKCLI works with local African and U.S. churches, ministries, and Christians with a call to rescue parentless children. It collaborates with an international network of Evangelical faith-based organizations, the business community, humanitarian groups, and governmental agencies to gather resources to enable the creation of children’s homes, schools, vocational training programs, and the economic opportunities for these children to grow to productive adulthood, strengthening their own nations.

In order to fulfil this mission, we are establishing "Villages of Hope"— replicable and scalable, planned Christian family communities for Zambian AIDS orphans, established on large, productive agricultural farm sites. Each farming location will provide the food needed for the resident children, as well as the setting for ongoing commercial agricultural production and vocational training for selected orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC). Each children’s village is designed to first, relieve the suffering of OVC through providing a Christian family environment; and, second, to nurture, raise, and train a whole new generation of Zambian children to become citizens and leaders who will impact their culture and future generations for Jesus Christ.

The Villages of Hope are designed to be models, which will be reproduced throughout Africa to ultimately rescue tens of thousands of children orphaned through the AIDS pandemic. These settings will be used to train other organizations and indigenous churches in how to establish and operate effective homes for African orphans.
