Founded over 23 years ago, African Vision of Hope now serves 5,006 students in 2023 and employs 149 staff members. Since its inception, 1,128 students have graduated from African Vision of Hope schools. To continue developing the future of Zambia, African Vision of Hope has focused on investing in innovation. This includes launching robotics programs at each of its six schools, constructing six new science labs, and opening Zambia's first STEM secondary school in May 2023. The children of Zambia are being equipped to be godly leaders and innovators for their nation. 933150 756412 0 SOCIAL & MEDICAL African Vision of Hope places great emphasis on providing children with clean water, nutrition, and medical care to ensure they lead healthy and safe childhoods. Globally, women and children spend 200 million hours a day hauling water, which prevents many young girls from staying in school. In response to this, African Vision of Hope constructed two additional wells at the Chongwe school campus to reduce the amount of time women and children spend collecting water. In 2023, African Vision of Hope also provided key medical care to over 1,740 students, treating the most common illnesses including malaria, worms, malnutrition, and diarrhea - the leading causes of death in children. 636532 462573 -716 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT African Vision of Hope strives to provide a healthy and save living environment for every child to ensure they can focus on being a child and receiving an education. To achieve this, four rescue homes were constructed in 2023 to provide safe shelter and care to 201 children. In addition, two sanitation facilities were constructed for male and female residents, equipped with private showers and toilets. Futhermore, a chapel was constructed for children to spend time learning and worshiping God. In 2023, African Vision of Hope also witnessed a positive change in cultural trends in Zambia through the implementation of free education, resulting in an increase in the female student population to 50% of the total student population. 3078499 true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false true true false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 14 true false false false false false true true false false false false false false false X 5 4 true false false false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false FL X Judith Bertels 6182887695 8 Professional Park Drive Maryville IL 62062 Judith Bertels President/CEO 60.0 X X 115780 0 12458 Bruno Nobre Director 5.0 X 0 0 0 Dennis Muilenburg Director 5.0 X 0 0 0 Gene Weber Director 5.0 X 0 0 0 Steve Darr Director 5.0 X 0 0 0 Robert Bertels Secretary & Acting Treasur 40.0 X 0 0 0 115780 0 12458 1 false false false 0 295820 3351577 971814 3647397 0 0 0 0 0 50398 50398 0 0 0 0 90928 295820 123794 -32866 -32866 2986 3702 -716 -716 0 0 0 0 0 3664213 -716 0 17532 2472429 2472429 128239 99041 21994 7204 45113 18045 13534 13534 285125 237003 43104 5018 864 667 148 49 8118 6270 1392 456 1392 1075 239 78 590 590 12000 12000 55305 42357 2029 10919 51701 32640 8965 10096 89365 76262 8266 4837 6243 4145 1049 1049 228 228 7580 4548 1516 1516 Mission Trips 60873 60853 20 Donor Development/Communications 15533 10542 2300 2691 Volunteer Expense 9026 8610 128 288 6293 4012 1332 949 3256017 3078499 118834 58684 739959 582275 1467320 1717718 5713 0 0 0 0 22403 565853 2976 1592 1612 1384 0 0 0 0 2231294 2872943 18912 11782 0 0 0 0 18912 11782 1402707 1503637 809675 1357524 2212382 2861161 2231294 2872943 408196 240583 0 X true X false true false X 1646301 1958355 2853897 3670311 3647397 13776261 0 0 1646301 1958355 2853897 3670311 3647397 13776261 1409584 12366677 3191 4567 4761 8888 50398 71805 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13848066 14274 0.8930 0.8894 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2976 1592 1384 1384 true Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Program Services Travel and Site Visits 60967 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Grantmaking 2472429 0 0 0 0 0 0 2533396 0 2533396 Sub-Saharan Africa Provide food, medical care, clean water, education, economic development and shelter to vulnerable children and families in Zambia, Africa.
