The Bushbaby Foundation is a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring dignity, hope, and opportunity to some of Zambia’s most vulnerable communities. Founded on compassion and Christian values, we exist to bridge the gap for children, families, and communities in need—ensuring that no one is left behind.
Our work reaches across education, health, human rights, child protection, water and sanitation, gender equality, and advocacy against child marriage. Each initiative is carefully designed to empower individuals and create long-lasting impact.
To uplift marginalized communities by providing access to education, healthcare, clean water, and protection services, while advocating for justice, gender equality, and the end of child marriage. We believe every child and every family deserves the opportunity to thrive.
A Zambia where all children are safe, all families have access to basic human rights, and all communities can build brighter, self-sustaining futures.

Everybody can contribute to social change if they put their mind to it. BushBaby Foundation gives individuals in urban geographies an opportunity to contribute to development in rural Zambia through their knowledge, skills and time. Our aim is to catalyse these synergies, and create meaningful engagements for those who want to play a part in doing their bit for society.
We welcome dialogue and collaborations across organisations and individuals, to help us in our mission to bridge the gap between the haves and have nots.
