About Us
Empowering Futures, Rooted in Purpose
At the Rabbecca Onassis Foundation, we do more than care for children — we equip them with the tools, skills, and support systems to build a self-sustaining future.
From our home base in Kawambwa, Zambia to our supporters in Seattle and beyond, we are a mission-driven nonprofit rooted in faith, transparency, and action. We empower orphans and vulnerable youth through:
-
Sustainable agriculture and food security programs
-
Education, shelter, and daily nourishment
-
Community-led care models that build local resilience
-
Child-focused innovation that prioritizes dignity, growth, and opportunity
We’re not just another charity — we are a Zambian-born movement, built from a mother’s vision, stewarded by a global family, and grounded in the belief that every child deserves a life of purpose.
This is where you’ll learn more about:
-
Our origin story, born from 25 years of personal sacrifice
-
The local and international team driving impact
-
The programs that feed, teach, and transform lives every day
If you want to understand what sets us apart — it’s this: We don’t wait for solutions. We build them, from the ground up.
We believe all children deserve a chance to embrace who they are, define their future, and change the world.
