Community Resource Centers (CRCs) are youth centers designed to be a hub for our ministry in each community we work in. We have 18 CRCs working to serve as a light in the darkness of the slums of Lusaka, Zambia.

Fun & Study Safety Effective ministry
Since school only lasts usually two hours a day, these kids have no place to go for the majority of each day. The CRCs offer the children a place where they can come study, read and learn. They are also a place for fun and play which is not something the orphans of Zambia experience often. Since the CRCs are located in the areas where the children live and staffed 24 hours a day, it is open to them in the middle of the night when they are faced with abuse or forced to sleep outside. Nighttime is a very scary time in these communities and the CRCs offer them a safe place to go when they face trouble. The CRCs are staffed with our discipleship leaders, many of whom actually live there. This allows them to be always nearby and known in the community. This has made a huge impact because they know what is going on around the community and are well-respected by the caretakers and other leaders in the area.
