Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

Family Legacy's integrated model of care seeks to equip orphaned and vulnerable children in Zambia with the resources and Christian education necessary to achieve their God-given potential in this world.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To glorify God by transforming the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children of Zambia through Christian education and the provision of other essential services.

  • Family Legacy Missions International (FLMI) owns and operates 21 private, Christian academies in 17 communities throughout Lusaka, Zambia. More than just school buildings, Legacy Academy schools provide an integrated approach to education and holistic care. From school uniforms, textbooks, school supplies, daily meals, access to medical and counseling services and more, we provide the necessary tools for students to pursue their education journey. In 2023, over 12,000 students attended our schools. Students are supported by an American family or individual who sponsors them on a monthly or annual basis.

    Expenses $9,228,460 · Grants $6,794,187

  • The Tree of Life Children's Village is a 130-acre community located outside of Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia. The Village serves as a transitional full-time living facility for children who are suffering from a challenging home situation that places the child's well-being at risk or an extreme medical condition for which their guardians are unable to provide the necessary care. The Village is equipped with a neighborhood of homes, a school, onsite access to quality healthcare, playgrounds and a working farm. In 2023, Family Legacy in partnership with US sponsors and donors supported 450 children in its Tree of Life Village.

    Expenses $2,596,791 · Grants $1,937,693

  • Family Legacy's Short-Term Missions Program is a cornerstone of Family Legacy's mission to bring hope and transformation to Zambia's most vulnerable children. The program is conducted over 5 consecutive weeks during June and July. Each week-long experience is powerful for both the children we serve and the ambassadors and child sponsors who travel to Zambia to serve alongside us in this ministry.

    Expenses $2,511,828 · Grants $462,349 · Revenue $26,519

  • Family Legacy's Excel Beyond Program provides sponsored high school graduates with additional opportunities to maximize their educational and career potential. The Foundation Year Program is a one-year program in which students attend monthly professional skills training seminars and participate in a certified one-year trades program of their choice. Upon completion, students who qualify based on their grade 12 exam scores are eligible to attend a diploma program or university in Zambia. In 2023, Family Legacy supported 624 children in its Excel Beyond program.

    Expenses $2,053,799 · Grants $1,635,870

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1a Travel for companions

Schedule J, Part I, Line 1b Written policy regarding payment or reimbursement of expenses
The organization is working to implement a written policy to include companion travel.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 7 Non-fixed payments
The CEO/President received a non-fixed payment in the form of a bonus that was determined and approved by the board. The board also authorized the transfer of a company vehicle valued at $8,000 to the CEO/President as other non-fixed compensation. This amount was included in the CEO/President's taxable compensation. Additional highly compensated employees received non-fixed payments that were determined and approved by the CEO/President and based on additional job responsibilities and payroll support received.
