Since 2002 they are actively helping children who are victims to the HIV\/AIDS pandemic in their neighbourhood to receive the necessary day care, primary education, and basic food, which these children cannot receive otherwise. At the same time they support single mothers and grandmothers, who had lost a part of their family through HIV\/AIDS and now have to care about the (grand)children alone. In 2005 they founded <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kingworldmissions.org\/\">King World Missions<\/a>, a community-based charity organization dedicated to fight the problems of HIV\/AIDS in Zambia, whos concern are orphans, vulnerable children, and those little ones unable to afford education.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/followtheroad.com\/photos\/ftr\/mini-projects\/zambia_school\/KingWorldMissions.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/followtheroad.com\/thumb\/thumb.php?src=..\/photos\/ftr\/mini-projects\/zambia_school\/KingWorldMissions.jpg&amp;w=120\" border=\"1\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" \/><\/a>Today, the most important goal for King World Missions is to <strong>build a school<\/strong> with 4 classrooms that would host more than <strong>80 children<\/strong> for getting primary education, and empower women of Mutendere community with life sustaining skills.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008 through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.givemeaning.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">GiveMeaning.com<\/a> we found an opportunity to help initiating a fundraising activity in order to realize the school.
