Meet Astridah

Astridah is an 7 year old girl from the village of Chikumbi which is in Zambia. At home Astridah’s duties include many household chores such as sweeeping, washing, and fetching water. She also has responsibilities in caring for her younger siblings and “extended” family. Astridah really enjoys learning about Art in school and in the limited free time she has, enjoys Chinese Jump Rope.

Daily Life

Daily life for Astridah and her friends is very difficult. The majority of her friends from Chikumbi, her home, are not able to afford to go to public school and survive on a single small meal per day. This meal is primarily made of nshima – a staple that is made of ground corn flour boiled in water.

Making An Impact

By being in school at African Vision of Hope Chikumbi, Astridah is not only having her mind “fed”, but she is benefiting from a nutritious meal each day she is in school. The majority of these children live with a single parent or relative. Others have been forced to live with whomever will take them in, and being forced to the streets by the age of 6 is not uncommon.

Astridah and her friends not only have physical poverty but they a poverty that can’t be seen. They have lost hope and do not believe that their life matters or that they matter.

Astridah desires to know that someone cares for her, thinks she is of value, and needs someone to encourage her, that there is truly a Hope for a better tomorrow. Astridah’s story can begin with you.

African Vision of Hope – Chikumbi

The school in . .
In Zambia the school year runs from January through December. The children will have short breaks during April, August, and December.The school day begins around 8:00 am, lunch runs in shifts starting around noon. As classes wrap up during the afternoon, some children will stay at the campus to study or help classmates with studies while others must hurry off to perform “piece-works” which we would call odd-jobs. These “piece-works” are a necessary part of many of the children’s daily survival and are how money is earned to pay for living expenses at home such as rent, food, and clothing.

Struggling To Survive

Day to day survival for the vulnerable and orphaned children of Zambia is very difficult. A land locked country in southern Africa, Zambia suffers greatly due to the continuing pandemic of HIV/AIDS, starvation, and the inability to offer free education to its children.To quote Mary, one of the African Vision of Hope students,

Without education you have no voice, without education you have no future, without education you have no hope.

Empowerment through education is the key to these children being lifted out of these dire living conditions. You have the opportunity to shine the light of Jesus into the hearts of these desperate children. A blessed opportunity through your relationship and the writing of letters to speak hope into a world that has become hopeless to them.
