Introduction and Recent News

Prison Fellowship Zambia began helping prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families in 1985. Since that time, the staff and hundreds of volunteers have had a major impact on the lives of prisoners and their families. From material assitance, HIV programs, education, and aftercare for prisoners to food, clothing, and counselling service programs for their children and families, PFZ works diligently to transform individuals and reconcile families. PFZ is also dedicated to restoring communities; their reconciliation program (STP) has been instrumental to the success of many ex-offenders returning rehabilitated to their communities.
