Operation Kid-to-Kid
Each night, kids and adults will have an opportunity to donate to Operation Kid-to-Kid. The project this year is “Giving Mothers and Babies in Zambia a Healthy Start.”
Did you know the first 1,000 days of a baby’s life are crucially formative to their future? Malnutrition during the first 2 years can lead to irreversible issues that limit babies from reaching their full potential in life.
We are excited to partner with World Vision to help moms and babies get the best beginnings they can. Each $10 donation through Operation Kid-to-Kid provides supplemental nutrition and education to a mom and child for 2 years.
You can learn more about this partnership with World Vision on this page:

World Vision has a well-established presence in Zambia that is working to improve the quality of life for many people. You can find out about a number of other World Vision initiatives in Zambia on this page:
