Community

Community service is a critical part of healthy family and youth development.  The ability to transcend one’s own world and empathize with the less fortunate not only strengthens families but enhances personal growth and wellbeing.

International mission projects focus on the needs of families in Zambia, Southern Africa, where 86% of the population lives below the poverty line and the HIV/AIDS pandemic has left over 1.2 million AIDS orphans. Working with Zambian partners and international non-governmental organizations, The Jacaranda Center is working to bring sustainable, socio-economic solutions out of poverty.
