Who We Are
We are a Christian non-profit organization serving two communities: Musana, Zimbabwe, and Twashuka, Zambia.
Our mission is to care for orphaned and vulnerable children and youth in regions where the impact of HIV/AIDS, extreme poverty, and high numbers of orphans has left many families without adequate support.
Through our ministry, we strive to meet both practical and spiritual needs by providing nutritious meals, basic necessities, educational opportunities, emotional care, and the hope found in God's love.
We are committed to creating safe, nurturing environments where children can grow, learn, and develop into healthy, confident, and hope-filled individuals.
By partnering with local communities and faithful supporters, we seek to transform lives, strengthen families, and empower the next generation with the resources, encouragement, and opportunities they need to build a brighter future.
Our Mission
To prepare the most vulnerable for a better tomorrow.
Health
We are committed to caring for children and families by providing a nutritious daily meal, access to clean water, essential food packages, and basic medical care. Through these vital services, we strive to meet immediate needs while bringing hope, dignity, and support to those we serve.
Education
In Zimbabwe, we currently provide education to students from kindergarten through Grade 9 and are undertaking the construction of additional school facilities. We plan to introduce one additional grade level each year, with the goal of ultimately providing education through high school graduation.
In Zambia, we operate an elementary school serving students from kindergarten through Grade 7. We recently completed four additional classrooms, enabling us to expand our capacity and serve more children. We also plan to extend our educational programming to include high school.
Healing & Well-being
Our teen groups, children's church, and youth programs are designed to provide counselling, healing, and practical life skills in a safe, supportive, and faith-filled environment.
Led by Weston and Liz Muronzi, LGTH Zimbabwe is currently serving over 250 children, providing daily meals, education at our new school, tutoring, soccer teams and various children's and youth groups, activities and projects. Let's Give Them Hope Zimbabwe also runs Hope Kingdom Fellowship which has weekly biblical teaching and vibrant music, and it serves the community through home visits and prayer.
Our location in Zambia is led by Henry, Elizabeth and Timothy Chitambala.. Since 2019, we have renovated the old school building and added two new buildings plus new washrooms. We are feeding the children daily, tutoring, mentoring and helping the children. We have a soccer team and other activities to develop community. We have also built a community centre which is being used for many things, including our Hope Kingdom Fellowship.
Our head office and our international board of directors is in Canada.
Michael and Carmen van Zanten have zoom meetings every week with Weston, Liz, Henry, Elizabeth and Timothy to keep up to date on what is happening in each location and to prayerfully discern where to allocate funds for the greatest benefit of the children.
Our USA office is led by Jordan and Pam Gagner. They are advocates for both of our Let's Give Them Hope locations. Their main focus is raising awareness and funds because they believe every child has a right to healthy food and education.
