Over the last 20 years, over 5,000 vulnerable children's lives have been impacted with a Christian Education. In 2020, African Vision of Hope provided a Christ centered education to 3,500 vulnerable and orphaned children in Zambia over five campuses. The five African Vision of Hope campuses were provided with 12 new classrooms, over 450 new desks, fresh paint, updated windows and doors, computers for each school, and chemistry lab supplies. Robotics clubs have also been established at three campuses. (Continued on Schedule O)Also, in 2020, African Vision of Hope employed 140 caring teachers and staff that provided physical, intellectual and spiritual guidance. 98 students completed their high school education in November bringing the total high school graduates to 750. 45 students were provided college scholarships and 15 students finished their college education through our scholarship program. Nine men and women were given scholarships for seminary training and two more graduated bringing the total to 56. Testing and examination fees were paid for students in 7th, 9th, and 12th grade to participate in national exams to be able to qualify for the next grade. Technology is vital to the development of Zambia, building a workforce of doctors, engineers, lawyers, and entrepreneurs which require drivers and flexible learning programs that go beyond basic literacy. 466575 343430 In 2020, 935,131 vitamin fortified meals were provided to 3,500 school children. Our emergency feeding program continued because of Covid-19, providing food for 1,200 family members and children that attend our schools. African Vision of Hope provided medical care through their onsite medical clinic and an on-staff nurse who traveled between schools. Over 10,000 children, guardians, and staff were educated on hygiene training, sanitation and HIV education. 3,500 children received basic medical care for treatable illnesses such as vaccinations and malaria testing. (Continued on Schedule O)In the last six months we have stepped up our clean water programs by digging four new deep wells with taps and installing 24 hand washing stations, ensuring every school and rescue home has clean water. Over 10,000 children and families benefit from these clean water points each day. We have multiple wells serving 5 communities with a total population of over 300,000 vulnerable families and orphaned children. 226074 121640 -631 Vocation, technical, and leadership training was provided for students, women, and men. Christian educational leadership training was provided for 140 staff members, 40 college students, 36 pastors, and reaches over 30,000 people. African Vision of Hope employs trainers that teach sewing, knitting, small business, and craft skills to those adults who are living in poverty and have not completed their education. Two industrial sewing machines were purchased, enabling the sewing ministry to be self-sustaining, create more jobs, and become an income producer for the ministry in Zambia. The welding and carpentry vocational training programs are teaching young men and women hands-on job skills and they have been making desks for the classrooms. (Continued on Schedule O)Four acres of land was purchased for the Village of Hope, rescue homes that will provide shelter and care for 144 orphaned and vulnerable children. The Chongwe campus expansion included new well and water tanks, a tech center, five new classrooms, a pavilion for bible study and chapel, and security fencing. On Saturdays, eight Sonshine Kidz Klubs meet in communities across Zambia and minister to more than 600 street children.
