About the Mulunda Miaka Orphange

Overview
Mulunda Miaka Orphanage is dedicated to supporting orphans in Zambia. Founded and run by Pam and Menda, Zambian nationals who saw the great need and decided to do something about it, Mulunda Miaka promises a long term investment in the futures of the children it takes in. More than just a home, Mulunda Miaka Orphanage will strive to prepare children to be self sufficient through academic and vocational training, and will give them a strong foundation in the Christian faith.

History
Mulunda Miaka Orphanage was founded by Pam and Menda, Zambian nationals seeking to make a difference in their community. Pam is a nurse at Mukinge Hospital and Menda is a Clinical Officer. While working in the pediatric ward at Mukinge Hospital, Pam was distraught by the condition of many of the children. Orphans would be brought in by extended family members to be treated, many for malnutrition. While treatment was usually successful, these same children would return time and time again, their extended families not being able to provide the proper nutrition. With the devastating AIDS pandemic, this story is all too common. For this reason, Pam and Menda decided something had to be done. Already taking care of several extended family members, Pam and Menda opened their arms and hearts and founded Mulunda Miaka Orphanage. With the help of devoted Zambians and missionaries living in and around Mukinge, the dream began. We are now in the development stages, with buildings being constructed and many projects in the works.
