The issue of vulnerability is very well known in Zambia among many government offices who deal with it on a regular basis. Among them is the Ministry of Community Development and Social Welfare. Wings of Hope is privileged to have on its Board a director of that department here in Livingstone.

It is with the assistance of social workers in this office, students on attachment and independent counselors that assessments will be done. The criteria for eligibility in the programs of Wings of Hope will be scrutinized by a group of such field workers for each applicant referred to us.

Attached to this business plan is an assessment tool developed by the Ministry director for our use.
