ELIZABETH NGALWILE

CO-FOUNDER & COUNTRY DIRECTOR (Lusaka, Zambia)

Elizabeth Ngalwile, visionary, co-founder and Country Director of The Kukhoma Project, was born and raised in Lusaka, Zambia. For the last decade, Elizabeth has worked to love, serve, strengthen, identify, educate, minister to and fight for the orphaned and vulnerable children of Zambia. Above all, she feels called to seek the Lord and serve him fervently in all that she does.

At the young age of 21, Elizabeth began her career by serving as a live-in house parent at a local residential care facility for orphaned and vulnerable children. Since then, Elizabeth has faithfully served in various roles, pouring into the lives of countless Zambian children and gaining vast experience working in the local community as a discipleship leader, field worker, area coordinator, and department head for social services. 

Over the years, through relationships with her students and even her own story, God developed in Elizabeth a passion for a particularly overlooked demographic: girls who become pregnant from sexual abuse. In 2017, He birthed in her the vision for The Kukhoma Project vision. By the grace of God, the vision became a reality in 2018 as Elizabeth and Amanda launched a ministry, seeking to build a safe place for sexually abused pregnant teens to live and thrive.
