John still runs his small grocery store, but now he is equipped and empowered with the knowledge that he can be so much more. Now that he is an African Vision of Hope student, he receives a free meal, education, clean water, medical care, spiritual mentoring, and encouragement from friends and teachers. Once he graduates he will have the opportunity to earn a college scholarship and transform his shop into a thriving small business, rescuing his family from extreme poverty and impacting generations to come.
