Local Job Creation
Local staff are being recruited to fill the many job positions created in order to care for the children. A special focus will be the recruitment of Christian widows to serve as housemothers. We currently employ 40 local workers in Zambia. In support of the 55 children in Namibia, twenty-two local staff positions have been created. Staff recruitment and training is a critical component to the project. Christian colleges, NGOs, and faith-based organizations will continuously receive information regarding the positions that are open. AKCLI will work with appropriate Evangelical organizations in the United States and in Zambia to develop training for caregivers and staff.

Funding
Funding for the project will be obtained through our partners and local churches in the United States. This includes the construction as well as the maintenance of the facilities. Day to day expenses will come from church sponsors of individual orphans up to complete clusters of orphan homes. Local churches will also supply mission teams to visit to provide personal discipleship for the orphans, physical maintenance support of the facilities, teaching assistance, and love and care for the volunteers and leadership at the villages.
