On her Cape to Cairo journey, Julita met a young man, Oscar, working as a gardener at the resort she was camping in Livingstone, Zambia. True to her nature, she started speaking with him and wanted to know his background and dreams. Oscar explained that he was the only one from his village who could read and write and wanted to become a teacher, but his parents had no money to send him for such an education. Julita then inspired Oscar to dream bid and trust God with all his plans and the end of this story is the Julita Oscar Foundation and a little school in the located in the Ipee Village, in the western province of Zambia, What started with 25 kiddies is now a school of 55 learners and 2 teachers.

MamaLita helps with school uniforms, paying the salary of one teacher, food every day, stationary , toys and balls for playing netball and soccer.

We believe every child deserves a quality education, that nurtures their talents, stimulates their curiosity, and empowers them to reach their full potential. However, the reality is, that many Zambian children are denied the basic right to attend school. Lack of funding and access to education can perpetuate cycles of poverty, inequality, social exclusion, gender discrimination, and early marriages. It is crucial that communities join to ensure that every child has an equal opportunity to learn and thrive. By building schools and educating children in one of the most impoverished and isolated areas of the world, we are changing lives and building futures forever. Education for every child, is an investment in a world, whose return pays by creating an equitable future for us all.
