Shine’s vision is of a Zambia in which every child of primary school age can read and write.
Our mission is to empower underprivileged Zambian children with the reading skills they need to work their way out of poverty and fulfil their potential. Ultimately, we aim to alleviate poverty in Zambia by tackling one of its underlying causes - illiteracy - among children in its poorest parts, by providing free literacy programmes and centres.

Our organisation is built on a foundation of compassion, integrity, and accountability.
At Shine, we are passionate about helping vulnerable children in Zambia, nurturing them and treating them with love, care and respect.
