Cecily's Fund is a UK registered charity
that makes it possible for Zambian orphans
and other impoverished children
to go to school

HIV and AIDS in Africa are destroying families. School for orphans is often out of reach. We've teamed up with local organisations to keep our promise that we will support the education of orphans and vulnerable children right to the end of their school careers. Join us and help give them hope!
