The Colin B Glassco Charitable Foundation For Children

Our Mission

TRACHOMA PROJECT:

Trachoma is the largest preventable cause of blindness with the rate of infection in a typical village being as high as 45%.

We have a program where we examine the children, provide medication where necessary, provide education as to good hygene and also clean water.

THE CHISHAWASHA ORPHANAGE PROJECT:

This orphanage is presently the home for 40 children and we are providing some buildings and covering some of their operating costs. THE ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL PROJECT:

We look after the cost of 100 operations each year and in 2006 we built a residence and we look after all of its annual expenses. CATARACT PROJECT:

We continue to help with the children's cataract operations.

COMMUNITY SCHOOL PROJECT:

We are building two much needed small schools in the very remote Gwembe Valley in Zambia.

CHISANGA HEALTH POST PROJECT:

Also in the Gwembe valley we are building a health post in an area that is the home to over 4,500 Tonga.
