Earlier in March, a vibrant wave of young voices took over the airwaves in celebration of the International Children’s Day of Broadcasting—and Kids Alive #Zambia was right at the heart of it! With the powerful theme “Our Children, Our Future,” children from across our three sites—Chikondi, Lilato, and Kids Alive Academy—stepped into the spotlight. Broadcasting live from One Love Radio in Lusaka and Liseli FM in Mongu, our children presented a variety of radio segments, including heartfelt devotions, insightful career talks, Scripture memory verses, and even reading the main news. Each child brought their own spark, sharing their gifts and faith with listeners across the country. For many, this was their first time behind a microphone—and they rose to the moment with joy and courage. These moments go far beyond radio time. They are part of how #KidsAlive empowers children to find their voice, build confidence, and boldly dream for their futures. Through #EducationThatHeals and programs rooted in faith, we’re helping raise a generation that not only sees a brighter future—but speaks it into existence. 💙 (fb)

Rufino Muñoz, now the director of the Families Center at Kids Alive Peru in Andahuaylas has a powerful story rooted in faith, perseverance, and transformation. As a child, Rufino grew up in a Children’s Home—an experience that deeply shaped his life. While there, he encountered God through daily Bible reading, learned the value of teamwork, and was supported by loving tutors who listened and cared. These early lessons planted the seeds of purpose that would grow over time. After reuniting with his family, he pressed on using his talent in math to tutor students, support himself, and pursue his dream of attending university. That determination has paid off. He eventually went on to work with Kids Alive Peru, first as a math teacher, then as a house parent, and finally, through God’s providence, as a director. When the home transitioned into a full-fledged Families Center, Rufino saw firsthand the expanded reach it could have. The center now empowers not just children, but whole families—offering support, education, and hope. Today, Rufino leads with compassion and conviction, sharing weekly devotionals with his team and walking alongside these families with unwavering faith. His life is a beautiful picture of what happens when God’s love, paired with trauma-informed care, takes root...a living example of #FaithThatHeals and a testimony to the long-lasting impact of #KidsAlive’s mission to create #BondsthatMend and build thriving communities from the inside out. 🌍 (fb)
