About Us

About Our Ministry

At SLIM we recognize the importance of local insight into local problems. Before we can help, it is essential that we understand. As a homegrown African organization, SLIM was established in 2015 to address the need to reach vulnerable people using an holistic approach. It is our mission to be the SALT and the LIGHT in the lives of orphans, youth, vulnerable women, prisoners, and communities.

Our initial focus was our home nation of Zambia, but we have seen God establishing SLIM in other African nations. Hence, we believe in working together as the body of Christ, and we welcome partnerships with organizations in other African nations. Join us as in our labour of love to impact young people for God’s kingdom!
