Dear Friend,
The New Year is here. A fresh start for many of us.
This letter is filled with hope for the future at a time when so many things are uncertain.
Love, Faith, Hope are few of the things that keep some of us going in life. The seed of love helps soften the biggest of challenges. The sprinkle of faith keeps the spirit up. A dash of hope also helps to get through life.
SERVE extends love to young people in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, India, and the Philippines who are disproportionately impacted by a lack of education, vocational skills, employment prospects, business training, disability stigma, and other factors.
Young people there live in faith and with hope to build their future. Donate €5 HERE
Meaningful gestures ensure that they have access to quality education, nutritional food, live a life free of stigma and full of opportunities.
SERVE has been working in solidarity with many communities for the last 20 years.
Every year, while these communities become more self-reliant, our friends there still face incredible uncertainties just like the Irish people do. Certain truths are universal.
As we bring in the New Year, we ask you to join us in showing them love to help keep faith and hope for their future. Fresh Start, Bright Future!
€5 will go a long way to Brighten their Future! None of the work we do at SERVE is possible without the generous support of the Irish people.

In the New Year, we hope you can also keep in mind a young person whose mind is shimmering with excitement for their future because help is at hand.
Believe us, five euro makes a huge difference for a young person.
Busiku lives in Mazabuka, Zambia. Our volunteer Edith met her in July 2023. When they met, they spoke about many realities of Zambia.
Edith said, “One thing Busiku made clear was that women can now do jobs that were traditionally reserved for men, such as engineering and medicine, but she stressed that the narrow-minded view still exists that educating your male child will be more beneficial to your family’s financial status and security than educating your female child.”
Busiku is in Secondary School and her awareness reminds us that she is one of many who’re determined to achieve success.
Mazabuka is one of the many communities we work with who’re deeply affected by lack of access to quality education, employment training, employment opportunities and other factors.
Mazabuka is a large township outside the capital city Lusaka. On the surface it’s a sleepy town, but the people do not take things lightly. They may be happy with what they have, but the young people are aware that opportunities are denied to them because of a corrupt government. They know their future is in their own hands.
Please help us give them a step up to achieve their dreams.
Our volunteer Darren Hennelly lived in Mazabuka when COVID hit in 2020. Darren said, “I can testify to their burning desire to survive amidst the hardships, and I admire their unshakable sense of hope for what tomorrow may bring.”
This Christmas, you can help young people see a glimmer of hope for their bright future.
