Children receiving books 
Prison Fellowship Zambia continues to provide care and support to children of inmates in the communities. We started on a great note with children benefiting from the program. We have made it a routine to sensitize beneficiaries on the importance of safety, education, health, and spiritual resiliency.
With the coming in of Covid19, we have intensified the prevention messages on covid19 and ensured that the beneficiaries adhere to the regulations and measures which the Government of the Republic of Zambia through the Ministry of Health has put in place.
The messages on Covid19 are strictly followed by staff and beneficiaries. Prison Fellowship Zambia did its best to distribute prevention materials for covid19 which included the following: Washing buckets, hygienic soap, washable face-masks to all beneficiaries and volunteers in the program. We also distributed warm clothing, soya porridge, pounded groundnuts, washing soap, and bathing soap to circumstantial children in prisons.
During one of the food distribution activities, Prison Fellowship Zambia invited the district Social Welfare Officer Mrs. Paxina Kaoma from the Ministry of Social Welfare Department in Ndola, Mrs. Kaoma shared a number of important points on how best families can prevent themselves from contracting covid19.
She further appreciated Prison Fellowship Zambia for donating foodstuffs and other covid19 prevention materials. PFZ has been looking at the capabilities of the beneficiaries; we have identified and supported some of the beneficiaries in vegetable gardening and maize growing. The purpose of doing this is to help families to be self-sustainable.
Covid19 restrictions of movement are impacting vulnerable household’s abilities to access basic services to sustain their livelihoods as members depend largely on trading in various markets.

The beneficiaries that received farming inputs for the last farming season did well. From the testimonies received, a number of beneficiaries have come out in the open that they also want to venture into agriculture because they have seen the results from their colleagues.
