Olivia Jackson hasn't added a story.
My name is Olivia Jackson, from Sheffield. I am currently in my first year studying Medicine at the University of Nottingham, and I am about to embark upon a once in a lifetime expedition to Zambia, as part of a not-for-profit organisation called Mission Zambia, which supports AIDS orphans.
The Mission involves raising funds and travelling to the rural village of Mwandi in Zambia for three weeks this summer. Whilst there, I will be helping to build houses for AIDs orphans and the elderly carers in the community, whose own homes have, in many cases, collapsed.
I would be so grateful for donations which would help me to cover living costs whilst volunteering in Zambia and the purchase of building materials. Money raised will also be donated to Mission Zambia to enable this amazing organisation to continue it's valuable work, improving the lives of the people of Mwandi in the future.
I am passionate about supporting this cause, as I believe that everyone should have access to basic human rights like education and a home-things we all too often take for granted. This project is committed to giving the children of Zambia hope for the future and a better quality of life.
Our help is vital as it is Lozi custom that orphans, who have largely lost both parents due to AIDS, are cared for by other elderly family members. The Lozi community do not believe in orphanages, and each elderly caregiver can be looking after up to 10 orphans, all living in a single mud hut.
The project was set up three years ago by fellow medical students and it's aim is to provide a sustainable home and ensure every child in the village has access to education.
