will alleviate poverty . Cur-

rently poverty levels among

Zambian women stand at over

70% of the population. We

hope to reach even more

women when future funds

allow. Our current capacity

can only allow 20 women ,we

however are optimistic that

another larger number of

women can be taken on if we

put our hands together in

partnership and support. One

person can only do so much

for another person, but if we

become a great team of part-

ners in this noble cause, we

can initiate and ignite serious

change and development to

many!

The growth of our programs

within the space of only one

year of our existence as an

organization can be credited

to God, and to you our part-

ners and supporters. We ap-

preciate you all. Dream Facto-

ry is currently anchored on

five main programs, namely:-

Women empower-

ment ,Volunteer program,

Dream Factory Zambia Minis-

try, and Adopt a Club pro-

gram . Added to this list is

now the computer training

program through which we

teach youths the foundations

of operating a computer in

order to prepare them for

future work opportunities.

Thursday 31st October is a

special day for us because we

have clocked one year, and at

the same time just rolled out

wing, and we can only fly by embracing

each other. We always encourage posi-

tive association for everybody.

Credit goes to Dream Factory Zambia,

through the Adopt-a-Club project. It has

had such a positive and greater impact on

both our team and the community at

large. Besides the training of trainers in

soccer administration, coaching, provid-

ing football equipment and coaching per-

sonnel. Dream Factory has made us be-

lieve that we are a part of a larger world.

Despite our humble backgrounds and

beginnings, we feel like giants as we lean

on their shoulders.

We would also want to believe that you…

the reader…are an integral part of bring-

ing these vulnerable young people a sure

way in which they should grow. And

when they grow up, they will surely not

depart from the good morals they have

learnt that is tailored for changing their

community, nation and the world at large.

We are now glad to claim we shall soon

be flying with eagles! And for that we say,

‘Dzikomo’ (Thank you).

Our community local club is called Super-

ade academy, it’s a group of young peo-

ple from peri-urban settlements of Ndola.

It was founded for a society that feels

helpless and hopeless. Most faces that

you would meet here in our community

would either read ‘fear’, ‘uncertainty’, or

indeed ‘faithlessness’. Therefore, It took

us going deep into the hearts of these

community youth regardless of what we

read from the faces in order to meet their

needs, thus giving birth to Superade

Academy.

In other words, Superade Academy was

born out of a passion to get into people’s

hearts and remind them that right within

their hearts is a hero. Its primary exist-

ence is to link local youths to something

bigger than themselves.

Superade Academy believes these youths

can have a brighter

and broader future

than they can possi-

bly think. If they

could only go an

extra mile in the

"fog" of their hope-

less future, they

would be able to

see yet another mile

of progress.

Superade Academy

is a ‘team’ where we

believe we are all

angels with only one Young people from our clubs in Adopt a Club

pel to the lost souls in order to reach out
