Overview

Mission

Compass 360 missions is a christian ministry that focuses on engaging, equipping and empowering local zambian communities, with the intention of breaking the generational cycle of poverty. Our goal is to collaborate with each community, assessing needs, identifying resources, increasing investments and attaining sustainability. Education, trades, skills and leadership development program guided by gospel and the holy spirit will help transform the hearts, minds and futures.

What it reported doing in 2024

In the chisunka chiefdom in zambia we organize "camp pathways" - a full day, four day camp where we cover the cost of food, teacher and camp leader salaries as well as the cost of materials. We support the operation of a farm and a hammermill and built two dwellings for the farm labor to provide job training, infrastructure development and career networking. We provide transportation in the form of a truck and supply the maintenance and gas for its operation.
