Zambia Mission Fund — Organization Profile
Zambia Mission Fund (ZMF) is a Christian nonprofit that supports ministry work centered at Namwianga Mission near Kalomo in Zambia’s Southern Province. The organization describes its purpose as revealing Jesus through education, humanitarian service, and Christian leadership, with Namwianga serving as a long-established hub where multiple ministry efforts operate side by side.
From its U.S. base in Abilene, Texas, Zambia Mission Fund connects churches and supporters to the day-to-day needs of Namwianga’s ministries. The work includes education and leadership development, health care, radio broadcasting, orphan care, and community support services, with a stated aim of combining practical help with spiritual care and encouragement.
Education is a core emphasis at Namwianga. Zambia Mission Fund highlights a secondary school that shapes future leaders, along with additional training pathways such as a college of nursing and teacher preparation. These programs are designed to equip students for service and long-term impact in their communities, strengthening both local congregations and broader civic life through trained professionals and Christian leaders.
Health care is another key focus through Namwianga Mission Hospital, which the organization describes as offering medical services alongside spiritual support such as chapel gatherings and Bible-based counseling. In addition to campus-based care, Zambia Mission Fund supports Zambia Medical Mission, a mobile clinic effort that travels from Namwianga into rural villages in the Southern Province to provide short-term clinics in areas that may not have local medical, dental, or optometric services.
Zambia Mission Fund also supports outreach through Namwianga Christian Radio Station (90.5), which broadcasts in both Tonga and English. Programming includes Bible reading, preaching, music, news, and informational content related to topics like health, education, and Christian family life—an approach that recognizes radio’s reach in communities where television and internet access can be limited.
Care for vulnerable children is woven into the overall ministry footprint through orphan care, including The Haven for infants and young children and Eric’s House for older boys and teens. Beyond direct care, ZMF also provides multiple ways for individuals and churches to engage, including giving to specific ministries, supporting “where needed most,” and participating through its annual gift catalog and other giving tools that help sustain Namwianga’s ongoing work.
