Program areas at FLMI
Family Legacy Missions International (FLMI) owns and operates 22 private, Christian academies in 17 communities throughout Lusaka, Zambia. More than just school buildings, Legacy Academy schools provide a multi-faceted approach to education and holistic care. We also partner with government schools in children's' communities. From school uniforms, textbooks, school supplies, daily meals and more, we provide the necessary tools for students to pursue their education journey. In 2022, over 12,500 students attended our schools. Students are supported by an American family or individual who sponsors them on a monthly or annual basis.
Family Legacy's Excel Beyond Program provides sponsored high school graduates with additional opportunities to maximize their educational and career potential. The Foundation Year Program is a one-year program in which students attend professional skills training seminars and participate in an introductory trades program of their choice. Upon completion, students who qualify based on their grade 12 exam scores are eligible to attend a multi-year certified trades program or university in Zambia.
The Tree of Life Children's Village is a 130-acre community located outside of Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia. The Village serves as a transitional full-time living facility for children who are suffering from a challenging home situation that places the child's well-being at risk or an extreme medical condition for which their guardians are unable to provide the necessary care. The Village is equipped with a neighborhood of homes, a school, access to quality healthcare, playgrounds and a working farm. In 2022, Family Legacy supported as many as 596 children in its Tree of Life Village.
Family Legacy's Short-Term Missions Program is a cornerstone of Family Legacy's mission to bring hope and transformation to Zambia's most vulnerable children. It is a powerful, week-long experience for both the children we serve and the ambassadors and child sponsors who travel to Zambia to serve alongside us in this ministry.
