In 2002, Dr Apakombwele Chisuse founded Funsani following the death of her sister. She established Funsani Home as an orphanage, to look after her late sister's son and other orphaned and vulnerable children in Kitwe, a city in the north of Zambia.

 

Funsani has been home to various vulnerable children, most of whom had lost their parents to HIV and were in desperate need of support. Funsani Home provides a stable environment to learn and grow and is a place where those that have lived there over the years consider themselves a family.
