Changing The Lives of Orphans in Zimbabwe

Mission

Fountain of Hope Children’s Home is dedicated to providing a loving and secure environment for orphans, vulnerable children, and widows affected by HIV/AIDS and poverty. Situated on the Peniel Home farm, this sanctuary offers stability, education, and hope to those in desperate need.

Programs and Activities

  • Mthombothemba Orphan Feeding Program: Ensuring that the most vulnerable children receive nutritious meals to support their health and development.
  • Orphan Education Assistance: Providing access to quality education, a vital tool in breaking the cycle of poverty.
  • Counseling Support Camps: Offering emotional and psychological support for children and widows who have experienced trauma and loss.
  • Empowerment Initiatives: Helping widows and single mothers gain the skills and resources needed to provide for their families.

Community Impact

Located in Mthombothemba, a drought-stricken region with a high HIV prevalence, the Fountain of Hope serves a community where many children are left orphaned, often becoming heads of their households. Many men have left for South Africa in search of work, leaving widows and single mothers struggling to survive. Fountain of Hope is answering this urgent need by offering food, education, and emotional support to create lasting change.

Founders – Gideon & Jennifer Chisamba

Co-founder Gideon Chisamba understands the struggles faced by the children he serves, having experienced extreme poverty and the loss of his father at a young age. A transformative encounter with God’s love led him to dedicate his life to helping others. Together with his wife, Jennifer, he founded Fountain of Hope, bringing care and security to Zimbabwe’s most vulnerable.

Fountain of Hope relies on the generosity of donors to continue its mission. Contributions provide food, education, and critical care for orphans, vulnerable children, and widows in crisis.
