Family Legacy is a faith based Non-Governmental Organisation working in 17 communities of Lusaka. Our vision is to ensure that the Orphan and Vulnerable Children (OVC) under our sponsorship are educated and discipled. Our goal is to develop future leaders for Zambia that are well educated and rooted in the Word of God. Over the last few years the first of our sponsored children have begun to finish their secondary schooling, and our desire is that many of them will be able to continue their education by attending college or university in Zambia. Including the 20 children in The Scholars Programme, Family Legacy currently has over 40 children attending college or university. With 186 children scheduled to finish secondary school in 2016, that number will surely increase.

It is important to Family Legacy to find colleges and universities to partner with that see the value in educating the underserved children of this country. In addition, we want these partners to have a strong biblical worldview and teach from that perspective. From what we have seen and experienced this year, African Christian University is a perfect fit as a partner for our organisation.

The Scholars Programme at ACU has helped our students become more confident and self-motivated. We believe this is because of the strong Christian values, programmes and courses which are tailored to build students that will positively influence societies, communities and the country at large.  This has been evident in our students who have attended ACU this year. They have grown spiritually, become better stewards of God's resources and their vocabulary has improved tremendously. Their academic performance has improved, and most importantly their faith in God has grown. We believe the year our students have spent at ACU will springboard them into the next phase of their lives, whatever that may be.  It has been exciting to watch the transformation in the lives of these students. They have grown personally, academically, and spiritually.

Below are some of the individual quotations and testimonies from our students.

"ACU has helped me grow spiritually. The courses offered, such as Grand Narrative, Reasoning and Rhetoric have helped me think like a student and work extra hard" -Gloria Chulu

"The Scholars Programme has prepared me for further studies. Before ACU, I never believed in myself but now am confident about myself" -Given Kababu

"The Scholars Programme has made me change my perception towards life. The Grand Narrative has given me a wider understanding about God and also about other religions like Islam and African traditional religion" -Bright Mutale

"The Scholars Programme has made a huge impact in my life. It has equipped me for further studies. Courses offered are tailored to be applied even in our daily lives, and that we are created to glorify God in whatever we do, drink or eat. I never knew you would glorify God through mathematics" -Monica Zulu

"I have grown spiritually, physically and mentally. I had no confidence at all, but the Scholars Programme helped me build my confidence. I am able to stand and speak before people. My grammar has tremendously improved, and I have learned how to be responsible, respectful, caring and most importantly loving" -Enala Zungu

"The Scholars Programme has helped me become familiar with computer basics and language arts has improved my communication skills" -Elizabeth Mwelwa

We are so excited about the partnership that has begun between Family Legacy and ACU. As we continue to graduate more and more students we hope as many of them as possible will get to be a part of The Scholars Programme and eventually get a degree from African Christian University.
