“For me, African Vision of Hope is my home, my life, my work, my parents and my story.”-Fizwell

Meet 28-year-old Fizwell, an African Vision of Hope graduate and Child Protection Officer at African Vision of Hope School in Chongwe. Although that is his official job title, Fizwell wears many other hats; teacher, father, protector, and friend. As a Child Protection Officer, it is Fizwell’s job to identify children who are living in vulnerable situations, rescue them, and give them a safe place to call home. His own difficult childhood prepared him for this calling.

One of Fizwell’s biggest responsibilities is being the “house dad” to 48 boys and girls in our Chongwe Rescue Home. This is a safe haven and a place of restoration for children in need of rescue who are escaping abuse, child labor, and human trafficking. Right now they are in a temporary “home”, but soon we will be breaking ground on the Village of Hope in Chongwe, pictured above. Do you want to be part of saving and changing children’s lives? Provide a bed for one of Fizwell’s “kids” today.
