Get to Know Us More
The Luso Langa Community Foundation was established to uplift and empower the Chipoka community by addressing their unique challenges and promoting sustainable growth.
Alarmed with the proliferation of child abuse, school dropout, child marriages, unemployment, poverty, lack of parental care as a result of labour migration to South Africa, lack of vocational and entrepreneurial skills, lack of capital and ignorance on child protection issues, Luso Langa Community Foundation was established as a platform for bringing the community members together and discuss solutions to the root causes of these social problems facing our community.
