Today, is world Teachers' Day. This year’s theme, “Standing with teachers: 60 years of protecting the profession, advancing its status and shaping our futures,” reminds us just how deeply a teacher’s influence can reach. We spent time celebrating our teachers today by gathering at Lifespring Lodge for a well-deserved time to celebrate, reflect, play games, laugh together, and simply enjoy being appreciated. To every Wiphan teacher: thank you for the lives you are shaping and the love you bring into the classroom each day. We are so grateful for you. 💛 #WorldTeachersDay #Wiphan #TeachersMatter #EducationChangesLives

“I never thought I’d go to school. I never thought I’d graduate.” Dorcas joined Wiphan in 2009 after losing her father and facing a future where education felt out of reach. Through Wiphan, she not only received an education—she discovered her identity in Christ and a calling to serve others. Today, Dorcas is a social worker and youth leader, sharing that same hope with children and young women in her community. One life poured into. Many more impacted. 💛

Two students. Two different journeys. So much to celebrate. ❤️ As a new school term begins, we’re celebrating the growth and accomplishments of Wiphan students like Blessings and Joyce. Blessings began her Wiphan journey in Grade 1. Today, she is in Grade 7, participates in the Spelling Bee, leads others in singing, and is regularly chosen as a class monitor. Her strong academic performance even allowed her to advance directly from Grade 5 to Grade 7. In her most recent mock exams, she scored 827 out of 900 marks. She dreams of becoming a nurse one day and is already working hard in Science toward that goal. Joyce joined Wiphan Nkwazi in 2025. Her teacher has watched her make meaningful progress in reading, writing, communication, and confidence. One moment especially stood out: during this year’s Decathlon, Joyce stood before others and confidently presented her project. Join us in celebrating Blessings and Joyce!

Clean water changes everyday life. 💧 Each Wiphan center has a water well providing safe, clean water for the children we serve—supporting their health, wellbeing, and ability to learn and grow. It’s one of the many practical ways we invest in children and their communities for the long term. 💛

Felix first came to Wiphan in 2008, when his grandmother struggled to afford school and provide enough food for their family. Through Wiphan, he received an education, daily meals, and something that would change his life forever: an introduction to Jesus. Today, after continuing through secondary school, tertiary education, and discipleship, Felix’s story is a beautiful picture of what it means to walk alongside a child for the long haul. 💛

It’s letter writing season at Wiphan! 💌 The children have been busy writing to their sponsors, and we can’t wait for those letters to reach you. If you sponsor a child, don’t forget to send your letter in, too. Hearing from you reminds them that someone is thinking of them, cheering them on, and interested in their lives. We do everything we can to make sure children who don’t yet have sponsors still have someone to write to. There are many children still waiting for that connection. If you’ve been thinking about sponsoring a child, this is a lovely time to begin. ❤️

From a Wiphan student to the first person in his family to graduate. 🎓 He joined Wiphan in Grade 6 in 2014. He remembers CBSI lessons, singing with Pastor Aaron and Madam Mubanga, and the mentors who helped shape his early years. As he grew older, conversations with Pastor Martin and Cynthia, a former Wiphan staff member, helped spark an interest in teaching that eventually became a calling. The journey wasn’t always easy. Wiphan helped with school fees, books, a Bible, and even a bicycle when the long distance to college made getting to class on time difficult—cutting a walk of more than an hour to about 30 minutes. Today, he has graduated with his teaching diploma. “I feel proud of myself. I’m the first in my family with a diploma. I am also the first person to have a graduation in my family. It’s a big moment for me.” And he’s already looking ahead. He hopes to find work as a teacher, one day open a school to serve underprivileged children, and use another gift he loves—composing gospel hip-hop music—to inspire others. His message to those who have supported Wiphan through the years is simple: “I would like to say a heartfelt thanks for the support, care, and trust.” A student in 2014. A teacher in 2026. And a story that is still being written. ❤️

A little Sunday morning worship from Regina. ❤️ Regina is a Grade 7 student at Wiphan Westbourne who loves to sing and participate in poetry. Her teachers have watched her confidence grow as she has become a strong public speaker, senior prefect, and outstanding student. In her most recent mock exams, Regina scored an incredible 884 out of 900 marks—the highest score at her school. We’re so excited to see where Regina’s gifts, determination, and hard work take her next. As we head into a new school term, Regina is still waiting to be matched with a sponsor. Sponsorship is an opportunity to come alongside her—to encourage her, get to know her, and be part of the community cheering her on as she continues her journey. Would you walk alongside Regina? Sponsor Regina at wiphan.mysponsorship.org/sponsor/regina/

Today is International Letter Writing Day! 💌 At Wiphan, letters are a special part of child sponsorship—but sponsorship is about so much more than exchanging letters. Pictured here are longtime Wiphan supporters Tom and Robin Goodrich visiting their sponsored child, Mateo, in Zambia. It was a relationship years in the making, brought together in person for a moment they’ll both remember for a lifetime. Beyond helping provide for a child’s education and daily needs, sponsorship offers the opportunity to come alongside a child as they grow. For a child who has experienced loss, having someone consistently encourage them, pray for them, and take an interest in their life can reinforce something deeply important: you are seen, you are known, and you matter. And ultimately, we hope that relationship points them to an even greater truth: that they are seen, known, and loved by God. To all of our Wiphan sponsors, thank you for faithfully showing up in the lives of our children. Your letters matter. Your prayers matter. And your relationship matters. 💛 There are still children at Wiphan waiting for someone to come alongside them. Could that someone be you?

What if one gift could keep creating opportunity? Through Wiphan’s Widows Microfinance & Empowerment Program, women receive access to interest-free business capital, practical training, mentorship, financial guidance, discipleship, and ongoing support as they build income-generating businesses. And the model is designed to keep working: as loans are repaid, those funds return to the program and can be invested again—helping create opportunity for another woman. Now, through Wiphan’s new widow sponsorship opportunity, you can choose a woman to come alongside through a monthly gift or one-time investment. Women like Brenda and Jenifer are ready to take their next steps—and are currently waiting for sponsors to come alongside them. Watch to see how the program works, then meet the women currently seeking sponsorship and choose whose journey you’d like to invest in. She brings the vision and the work. You help open the door. Meet the women & become a sponsor → wiphan.org/wiphan-womens-microfinance-empowerment

This summer, our students discovered the joy of giving. ❤️ During chapel, they learned about the young boy who offered his lunch to Jesus. Five loaves. Two fish. It didn't seem like much, but in Jesus' hands, it became enough to feed thousands. That same lesson has been taking root in the hearts of our students all summer long. As they worship, grow in God's Word, and learn to serve others, they're discovering that generosity isn't measured by how much you have, it's measured by the willingness of your heart. Please join us in praying that these children continue to grow into young men and women who reflect Christ through lives marked by faith, compassion, and generosity. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." — Acts 20:35

Our recent visiting mission team embraced every opportunity to serve with open hearts. From home visits and classroom activities to worship, sharing a word on God's creation, encouraging our teachers and staff, spending time with our learners, and celebrating together during a fun-filled decathlon, they reminded our children that they are deeply loved. Thank you for serving alongside the Wiphan family💚

Some things simply can't be understood from a distance. You can read about Wiphan's mission, see photos, and hear stories of lives being transformed, but nothing compares to experiencing it firsthand. Walking through our schools. Hearing hundreds of students worship with joy. Sitting in the homes of families whose lives have been changed. Seeing God's faithfulness at work across Zambia. Last month, a group of faithful Wiphan supporters traveled to Zambia to witness the ministry firsthand. They didn't just come home with photos, they came home with a deeper understanding of God's work, lasting relationships, and stories they'll never forget. As you watch this video, we hope you'll catch a glimpse of what they experienced. Maybe one day you'll experience it, too. If you've ever considered joining a Wiphan mission trip, we'd love to help you take that first step. "Come and see what God has done." — Psalm 66:5 #Wiphan #MissionTrip #Zambia #ChristianEducation #James127 #ComeAndSee #FaithInAction #LivesTransformed

Today is World Youth Skills Day. At Wiphan, we believe education is about preparing young people to thrive, in their faith, in their work, and in their communities. Through vocational and post-secondary training, students are developing practical skills in fields like agriculture, hospitality, carpentry, tailoring, cosmetology, auto mechanics, and more. Thank you to every sponsor and supporter who helps make these opportunities possible. Pictured is one of our recent graduates receiving a toolbox as he begins vocational training. #WorldYouthSkillsDay #Wiphan #ChristianEducation #James127 #SkillsForLife #Zambia

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to @TheUniformProject for providing school uniforms for our primary students in Zambia. A school uniform is about so much more than clothing. It represents dignity, belonging, and the opportunity for every student to come to school as part of the Wiphan community. We're incredibly grateful for this partnership and for the lasting impact it continues to make in the lives of our students. #Wiphan #TheUniformProject #ChristianEducation #Zambia #EducationChangesLives #James127 #Partnership #ThankYou

"The impact was immediate." Through trauma-informed training grounded in Christ’s love and compassion, teachers shared how the experience equipped them to better understand, support, and encourage children facing difficult circumstances, reflecting the hope, care, and healing of Jesus both in the classroom and beyond.

As schools reopen, our teachers joined educators from for a collaborative trauma-informed workshop focused on creating safe, supportive classrooms for children coming from difficult home and community environments. Together, they learned how to better recognize signs of trauma, cultivate environments where children feel safe and seen. We are grateful for opportunities to learn alongside others who share in that same mission.

Today on International Nurses Day, we celebrate and thank Nurse Becky and Natasha for the care, compassion, and dedication they show to the children and families at Wiphan each day. Nurse Becky has faithfully served in the ministry since 2012, and Natasha joined the ministry last year. Together, they help make healthcare possible for the children in our care, offering comfort, treatment, and support during sickness and need. Thank you for all you do to help children feel cared for, safe, and seen.

Motherhood is found in the everyday moments of care and demonstrations of Christ's love that make a child feel safe, seen, and supported. At our TuliOne Safehomes, four incredible women wake up every morning choosing this kind of love. 💐Mama Mutinta has faithfully served since 2012, helping shape the foundation of TuliOne from the very beginning. More than a decade later, she continues to pour herself into the lives of the children in her care with the same steadiness and purpose that first led her there. 💐Mama Dorothy brings quiet strength to the daily rhythms of home life. In her consistency, the children find safety; in her patience, they find peace. 💐Mama Edith reminds us that every child deserves someone who notices when they are struggling. In her watchful care, no child is invisible. 💐Mama Victoria is the newest member of the family and has arrived with a heart already believing that every child flourishes when given love, guidance, and encouragement. This Mother’s Day, we honor the women who make home possible for the children of TuliOne.

Two journeys. One foundation. Agness and Tisa began their stories at Wiphan as young girls, with potential, resilience, and a community that believed in them. Today, they are graduates of Mechanics for Africa, carrying with them not just certificates, but skills, determination, and vision for what’s next. Agness is already putting her entrepreneurial skills into action, running a small clothing business and dreaming of giving back to younger students in need. Tisa is pursuing her next step by applying for jobs, supporting her family, and holding onto her goal of becoming a nurse. “I am very grateful to the sponsors and partners of Wiphan… May God continue to bless you.” – Agness This is what long-term investment looks like. Not just education, but transformation, resilience, and hope that continues beyond the classroom. #Wiphan #EducationChangesLives #GirlsEducation #GlobalImpact #HopeInAction #SponsorAChild

From safehome to graduation! Albert’s story is what long-term investment makes possible. Since 2017, Albert has been supported through Wiphan, walking the full journey from Grade 7 to completing his studies. He has just graduated from Mechanics for Africa with training in Automotive Engineering. Now, equipped with his training and the tools to begin working, he is prepared to support himself and contribute to his family. This is what child sponsorship does. 💛 Help more students take the next step. #Wiphan #CircleOfCare #EducationToEmployment #LongTermImpact #SponsorAStudent

After growing up in Wiphan’s program, Jane has reached a pivotal moment. She lives in Ndola, Zambia with her parents and five siblings. In a busy household, she has learned responsibility, creativity, and the value of contributing where she can. This is the environment that has shaped who she is today. From a young age, Jane has shown a natural creativity. She enjoys decorating for events and bringing beauty into everyday spaces. Now, she has the opportunity to pursue training in cosmetology—a skill that can lead to sustainable income and long-term independence. For Jane, this step is about more than a career, it’s about creating opportunities for others, serving her community, and building something of her own. She dreams of opening a salon one day, a place not only for beauty services, but for teaching practical skills like hair and nail care to others in her community. She is ready to move forward. She just needs someone willing to walk alongside her as she takes that step. Would you consider being that person? https://bit.ly/42kVCRJ

After 18 years in Wiphan’s program, Emmanuel has reached a pivotal moment. He lives in a household of 15 with his grandparents, siblings, cousins, and extended family. There are 10 children in the home, many without stable parental support. The family relies on small-scale farming, and some days, one meal is all they have. This is the reality Emmanuel is stepping out of. Now, he has the opportunity to pursue training in heavy machine operations, a skill that can lead to stable, reliable work. For Emmanuel, this step is about more than a job, it’s about helping cover school fees for his siblings, supporting basic needs at home, and creating a different future for his family. Beyond that, he dreams of becoming a civil engineer. He is ready to move forward. He just needs someone willing to walk with him as he grows into independence. Would you consider being that person? https://bit.ly/4u6wrhO

Hope is not distant. It is living and active. Through Wiphan Care Ministries, the Gospel is reaching 107 staff members, 640 children, and 30 widows, shaping lives through Scripture, prayer, and discipleship. From weekly chapel and CBSI Bible study to discipleship across all ages, students are not only learning about Christ, they are learning to follow Him. This is what hope in action looks like. #HopeInAction #FaithInPractice #GlobalChurch #Discipleship #Wiphan #ChristianEducation

"While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8 This Easter, we remember a love that was never earned. While we were still in need, Christ died for us. We are thankful for Jesus and His love, a love that changes everything!

Last week we commemorated World Water Day! In partnership with Seeds of Hope international partnerships, our students shared a powerful poem reminding us that water is essential to every home, community, and future. Through their voices, they highlighted how water exists for everyone, yet access to safe and clean water is still unequal. The children reflected on the reality that women and girls often carry the responsibility of collecting water, caring for families, and managing homes, yet are too often left out of decisions about water leadership and access. Their message was: water has no gender, it belongs to us all. They reminded us that when women’s voices are heard and communities work together, water becomes a force for dignity, opportunity, and hope. As they beautifully declared: “Where water flows, equality grows.”

Faces of the Future⤵️ This week Zambia celebrated Youth Day, a day dedicated to recognizing the potential and promise of young people. Scripture reminds us: “Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.” Proverbs 3:13 Throughout the rest of March, we’ll be introducing you to students who are still waiting for sponsors, children who are learning, growing, and dreaming about their future. Follow along as we highlight their stories and celebrate the opportunities ahead of them.

The term has begun, and our teachers are sharing what they’re most looking forward to, watching students grow, overcome challenges, prepare confidently for their futures, and grow in their relationship with Jesus.

This Valentine’s Day, give love that lasts. Not just flowers. Not just chocolate. But education, stability, and hope. “Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18 Join us in putting love into action. ❤️ wiphan.org/donate

We Are One. We Carry On. If you feel led, there are only a few hours left to make a year-end gift. https://www.wiphan.org/donate

Prayers lifted. Gratitude shared. Thank you for supporting this work throughout the year. From all of us here at Wiphan, Merry Christmas ✨

Before they wore nurse uniforms, they wore Wiphan school uniforms. Beauty and Sylvia grew up in the Wiphan program, where their dreams were nurtured through education, encouragement, and steady support. Today, Beauty describes becoming a nurse as one of the most joyful moments of her life, a dream realized through faith, perseverance, and opportunity. Sylvia intends on working in a children’s ward, caring for sick children with the same compassion that once inspired her. Their journey reminds us what long-term investment makes possible.

What if your dreams depended on a stranger’s yes? They dream. They pursue. We equip them along the way. Because their futures matters, we carry on. Will you be the yes? https://www.wiphan.org/donate

A weekend of joy and powerful milestones at Wiphan 🎓 From Grade 12 completion to tertiary and skills training graduation, our students reached incredible milestones toward independence and opportunity. Thank you for being part of this work and helping equip students to step confidently into what’s next.

This year, 35 students said yes to Jesus. Their quiet prayers, their questions, their discipleship moments, every step has led to this. Their prayers matter. Their stories matter. And because of this, we carry on. Help us strengthen the spiritual foundation of every child in our care.

This year at Wiphan, we witnessed incredible impact across every part of our ministry, • 35 students professed faith in Jesus • Every student received a Community Bible Study workbook • Mentorship contributed to a reduction in teen pregnancies and school dropouts • Alumni graduated from college, including 2 new nurses who began with us as young children • Students completed degrees in Theology, Education, IT, and Business • Since 2020, over 80% of post-secondary students have secured employment • Students began cultivating vegetables for nutrition and sustainability • Teachers were honored by the Ministry of Education • Wiphan achieved strong Grade 7 exam results for the third year in a row • 108 children received eye screenings; over 800 accessed basic medical care • 350 primary students received mosquito repellent for malaria prevention • Campus attendance rose above 90% because daily meals were available • Our safe homes provided refuge and stability for 28 at-risk children We are grateful for every life touched and every story of hope made possible through your partnership. #WeCarryOn #Wiphan #HopeInAction #BecauseTheirStoriesMatter

Shamaria's dream is simple: become a nurse. Her story is sacred, reflecting the same God-given purpose we see in every child at Wiphan. Because their stories matter, we carry on, ensuring they receive the care, education, and discipleship that help their futures take shape. ➡️ Be a part of carrying their stories forward today, link in bio.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re asking our community to help protect what’s at stake. We’re facing a unique challenge as rapid advances in global technology, especially the rise of AI, reshaped the work that once helped sustain our schools. While we are actively adapting and strengthening Wiphan’s long-term sustainability, the financial gap created by these changes is impacting us right now. As we restructure, we must bridge the urgent need to ensure children and widows don’t lose the aid they rely on today. If you feel led, your support today provides immediate care where it’s needed most. ❤️ https://www.wiphan.org/donate Thank you for helping us carry on this work.

Today, we’re giving thanks for every story God is writing through Wiphan. The meals shared, the letters exchanged, the classrooms full of possibility, the hands folded in prayer… and the people, near and far, who make it all possible. Happy Thanksgiving from Wiphan🧡

For 20 years, God has carried Wiphan through challenge after challenge by moving in the hearts of His people. Today, we find ourselves at another season where we cannot walk forward alone. A changing world, especially rapid shifts in global technology, created an urgent need, yet the realities of the hundreds of children and widows in our care remain the same. Their stories, each one full of resilience, hope, and real daily obstacles, continue to unfold within our classrooms, homes and communities. If you feel led, your support at this moment makes an immediate difference for the women and children who depend on Wiphan daily. Giving link in Bio ❤️

Come make Christmas memories with us! 🎅📸 Join us THIS SATURDAY for pictures with Santa and a full day of festive fun, and help support Wiphan as we serve widows and orphans this season.
