Christian Health Service Corps is a ministry of Christian doctors, health professionals and health educators serving the poor in places that have little or no access to healthcare. Each year, we bring compassionate, life-saving health services to hundreds of thousands of families around the world. Our doctors and health professionals are often the only access to care for young families in poor communities.
The Christian Health Service Corps (CHSC) is dedicated to transforming the health of children and families in their communities. CHSC health professionals save many lives while imparting knowledge that builds community capacity for sustainable change. With respect for human dignity, we work to build community capacity to:
Promote a worldview that nurtures and supports spiritual, and physical wholeness in families
Ensure child survival and normal growth of children
Improve health infrastructure and access to functional healthcare services

Zambia a landlocked country of rugged terrain and diverse wildlife, with many parks and safari areas. It is located in southern Africa bordered by Angola on the west, the Democratic Republic of Congo on the north, Tanzania on northeast, Malawi on the east, Mozambique on the southeast, Zimbabwe on the south (a large portion of this being Victoria Falls), and Nambia on the southwest.  

If you look at average wealth of the population Zambia is one of the worlds poorest countries, with high unemployment and 64 percent of the people living in poverty. However, if you measured the countries wealth by natural resources it would be one of the richest countries in the world due to its copper deposits. Zambia is the worlds largest copper producer, but around 2011 in order to pay off part of its staggering debt, Zambia privatized its mines. Meaning that the mines are now owned by multinational companies, and very little money is actually seen by the Zambian people.
