About No Child Left Behind
We are a Zambian NGO committed to ensuring every child has access to education, healthcare, and opportunity.
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.
Our Core Values
Academic Excellence
We support students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance and dedication to their studies.
Equal Opportunity
We believe that every child deserves access to education regardless of their financial background.
Community Partnership
We work with communities, schools, and donors to create lasting educational impact.
Transparency
We maintain the highest standards of accountability in how we support our students and manage resources.
