Review for African Vision of Hope, Maryville, IL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

In June, 2019 my wife and I flew to Lusaka, Zambia for a short term mission trip with AVoH. We visited three of the schools AVoH maintains, a dorm AVoH has for young women, and we attended Sunday services at a local church. On two separate days we participated in a children's program at a community center. The children are adorable and there are lots of them. They queue up to get hugs. AVoH provides education and food for hundreds of kids every week. They provided housing for young women and young men. They provide scholarships for some to attend college. We heard testimonies from students who had been living on the streets with no hope for their future. AVoH took them in and provided food, shelter, education, and hope. Based on my experience, AVoH is doing an excellent job of helping the children of Zambia move out of a life of poverty.
