our program
our model and core program components are all strategically designed to achieve our mission: to restore, equip and empower the young girls and women of zambia
OUR PROGRAM MODEL
THE HOUSE
The Kukhoma Project runs a full-time care facility for pregnant, abused, teen girls which provides comprehensive care and skills training during a 2-year residential program. During these two years, while girls receive support under the protective roof of the TKP House, her family is also engaged separately and provided similar program support.
Upon completion of the program, girls will return to their communities restored from trauma and brokenness, equipped and strengthened with skills to care for themselves and their families, and empowered to have impact and be the change in their world.

THE COMMUNITY
Beyond the doors of the TKP House, we also work directly with teen mothers and women in the local communities. With the help of our ministry partners, we are working to provide educational programming to equip and empower the women of Zambia and, ultimately, affect culture-wide change. This programming will focus primarily on trauma counseling, child development training, health education, and discipleship.
Additionally, we work closely with the government and other partner organizations to bring awareness and facilitate long-term, cultural change for the population of abused, pregnant girls throughout the country.
