NCLBZ Logo

Our Mission

To identify and support academically outstanding students from underprivileged backgrounds with the resources they need to continue their education.

Our Vision

A Zambia where every brilliant child has equal opportunity to succeed — regardless of financial background.

Who We Are

The No Child Left Behind Foundation was established to ensure that academically gifted students from financially disadvantaged families are not denied opportunities due to economic hardship.

We support students who excel in Grade 7, Form 4, and Grade 12 examinations but lack the basic necessities required to progress to the next stage of their education. We believe that talent is universal — opportunity is not. Our mission is to level the playing field.

Since 2024 500+ students 50+ schools
