The Limapela Foundation seeks to advance humanitarian aid in Africa specifically for the benefit of education in poorer communities in Zambia with a focus on young people.
The Foundation was founded by people who were motivated by their faith to have concern for development needs in Africa and wanted to provide humanitarian support to children there. The founders came from a variety of faith based interdenominational Christian backgrounds.

An estimated 50% of Zambia's maize crop has been wiped out and the hydro dams are down to 20% of their capacity. Rolling power cuts have already begun and we expect there will be widespread hunger later in the year.
