The breathtaking cascades of Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world, are arguably Zambia’s largest tourist attraction. The Kalolo-Lozi people call this natural border between Zambia and Zimbabwe “Mosi-oa-Tunya,” or “The Smoke that Thunders.” More recently, however, a devastating drought has slowed the flow of water to a trickle.

In January 2008, the African Education Program (AEP)’s educational resource center began the Nutrition Program by providing daily meals to its most vulnerable students.  Here at AEP, we believe that students cannot learn on an empty stomach. After the implementation of the program, student attendance and performance in school both improved.

As an organization, our partnerships are an asset to our programs and the impact they have on our students and community. AEP engages in three kinds of partnerships: partnerships with individuals, communities, and organizations. 

Leadership Development is one of the core activities of our annual Life-Skills and Leadership Camp. Students had a chance to share and discuss inspirational leadership quotes by leaders from around the world. To change things up, we thought it would be fun to have different AEP voices share the leadership quotes that inspire them.
