J.O. Chifundo School

Our school has been teaching children of Kalingalinga since 1998.  This school has grown in the past 10 years from the original 24 students to almost 200.  It is the only high school in Kalingalinga, a compound of 20,000 people, located 5 kilometers northeast of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia.

chifundo_fred_gIn December 2006 the school was designated as a recipient of memorial donation for Jackson C. Oswald (J.O.) of Colleyville, Texas.  These gifts have initiated a building fund for the school.  As a result we are improving the school and changing the school’s name to J.O. Chifundo School.

By encouraging students to establish and develop a deep relationship with God trough Christ, J.O. Chifundo students and their families will have the opportunity of understanding God’s desire to “give you a hope and a future.”  We believe that the following verses honor the memory of Jack Oswald, a humble God loving man whose life now brings years of hope and future to Kalingalinga students.  For more information please visit our official website at www.jochifundoschool.org

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” – Jeremiah 29:11-12, NIV
