ANGELA TENDAI FOUNDATION (ATF) exists to equip young teenage mothers living in abuse and poverty, fostering transformation through emotional and economic empowerment. ATF offers shelter (home set up), counselling, comprehensive medical care, continued education or foundation skills and life skills to help the girls out of trauma who have become pregnant from abuse or victims of sexual abuse and violence.
Teenage pregnancy, as a result of sexual violence and abuse within the context of close relationships with family, friends of family or rape, is often identified as critical issue in their communities in Zambia. It is a known fact that these girls are more likely to die in childbirth than women in their 20s, especially as they do not have access to proper medical care or nutrition during their pregnancy. Even in some cases, teachers may even blackmail girls for sexual favours,resulting in young teenage girls getting pregnant.
Your contribution will change the lives of these girls. to restore hope and equip young women with independence and life skills. The more we raise, the more lives we save!

The Angela Tendai Foundation provides a secure and nurturing environment where young girls can find refuge from situations of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The safe house offers more than just a roof over their heads; it represents a haven of stability and safety. By ensuring their immediate physical security, the foundation allows these girls to begin the healing process and focus on rebuilding their lives without the constant fear of harm.
Empowering young girls with essential life skills is a cornerstone of the Angela Tendai Foundation’s mission. These skills, including financial literacy, basic cooking, and personal hygiene, equip the girls to handle daily tasks independently and confidently. By mastering these practical abilities, they are better prepared to navigate adulthood successfully and foster self-reliance, which is crucial for their long-term well-being and integration into society.
The Angela Tendai Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that every girl in their care has access to continued education. Recognizing that education is a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty and dependence, the foundation supports academic pursuits from basic literacy to higher education. By providing educational resources and tutoring, the foundation opens doors to future opportunities, empowering these girls to aspire to and achieve their dreams.
Health and wellness are vital components of the Angela Tendai Foundation’s support system. The foundation offers comprehensive medical care, including routine check-ups, vaccinations, and mental health services. This holistic approach ensures that the girls’ physical and mental health needs are addressed, allowing them to recover from past traumas and build a healthier, brighter future.
The foundation places a strong emphasis on foundational skills, which are critical for personal and professional success. These include communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. By developing these competencies, the girls are better equipped to handle challenges, make informed decisions, and engage effectively in various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional settings.
Counselling services at the Angela Tendai Foundation play a pivotal role in the emotional and psychological healing of the girls. Trained therapists provide individual and group sessions to help the girls process their experiences, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. This supportive environment fosters emotional stability and personal growth, enabling the girls to overcome their past and look forward to a positive future.
