To provide basic, secondary, and college education to over 1,000 students in the country of Zambia; to provide needy student scholarships, orphans' care, medical care, and conduct health clinics in remote areas to teach better hygiene, and protection against HIV/AIDS and malaria; and to drill water wells to provide clean drinking water to the people in Zambia, Africa
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
CLINIC/MEDICINE/MEDICAL OUTREACHES AND ORPHANS CARE A medical hospital has been built at the Mission to serve the Mission, schools, and villages in the area. For many years a group of medical doctors, dentists, eye doctors, nurses, and lay persons from the USA have traveled to Zambia at their own expense to conduct medical clinics in the bush and villages; in a typical year, about 75 from the US join about 150 Zambian volunteers. Hospitals are few and far between in Zambia and most of the people cannot go to a doctor for medical treatment. Between 7,500 and 15,000 Zambians are treated by medical personnel during this short time period. This is a service program and no revenue is received.ORPHANS CARE Because of malaria and HIV/AIDS, there are thousands and thousands of orphans in Zambia. Large homes have been built at the Mission to care for some of these orphans. The need is so great and this is only a drop in the bucket to provide what is needed, but it is a drop. This is a service and no revenue is received.RADIO STATION Very few people in Zambia have televisions, but almost everyone has a radio. The radio is used as a teaching tool and is especially helpful in getting public…
$3,227,964 spent100% of program spendingEDUCATION AND NEEDY STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Most of our students are from the bush or villages in Zambia. They are very poor and many of them are orphans and live with extended family members who have no money for their education. The Needy Student Scholarship Program provides all their school fees (room, board, and tuition). Because education is so valued in this Third World Country, these students have proven to do very well. They study hard and are grateful for the opportunity to go to school. This is a service program and no revenue is received.
CLEAN WATER PROJECTS/CONSTRUCTION/EQUIPMENT/VEHICLES One of the many needs in Zambia is available clean drinking water. Several deep water wells have been drilled and equipped with pumps in some of the villages. Purification facilities and storage tanks have been constructed to purify and store water from lakes in the area. New dorms for secondary and college students have been constructed and others have been remodeled. Classrooms and the cafeteria have been remodeled. These are service projects to better serve the students and people in the villages and no revenue is received.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $2.2M to $1.6M (−27%).

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
79% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Zambia Christian College Inc dba Zambia Mission Fund.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 59% · 2018 57% · 2019 83% · 2020 63% · 2021 69% · 2022 34% · 2023 43% — diversifying over time.

How long its funders stay
55% of Zambia Christian College Inc dba Zambia Mission Fund's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 79% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

Where its funders are
59% of Zambia Christian College Inc dba Zambia Mission Fund's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $916k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
