Our vision is that the last command of our Lord Jesus Christ will be our first concern and in order to fulfill this vision, we need to live Christ to those in need by providing in their basic needs such as taking care of orphans and widows, offer water supply, education and health care.
By sponsoring one of the 197 children in our orphanages you can help us to feed, cloth, educate, provide health care and ensure a safe haven for these lovely children. They didn't choose to be where they are and deserve to be loved and taken care of.
Orphan’s Refuge Honey farm in Zambia provides employment to young Africans who are forced to leave orphanages upon reaching the age of 18. It is a self-sustaining model that helps young people break the cycle of poverty and dependence.
This is now our 10th year of our Box of Hope project!

Alongside the initiative of Bill Passaglia from Chicago, USA we were able to be a part of a new Farm development project in Zambia. The purpose of the 250 hectare farm is to create jobs, generate revenue and develop skill sfor the surrounding villagers by involving them in the planting of crops and farming of bees, chickens and goats.
We have already constructed 700 bee hives for our Orphan Gold Honey project from which the proceeds will go to further the development of the project in Zambia.
We have bought 350 goats and are producing 300 chickens every 6 weeks.
We are in the process of planting Moringa trees that we already have a buyer for.
This is an ongoing project and any help is much needed. If you would like to become involved in this project email.natasha@handsonafrica.com
Giving a home to a child
There are more than one million orphans in Zambia, giving it the highest per capita orphan rate in the world. Through the generosity of people around the world we were able to build an orphanage to house 48 orphaned children according to the new regulations in Zambia for orphanages.
We were required to build 2 separate housing units for boys and girls including living areas for the children where they can learn and play.
The project was a total of $50 000 and was completed in June 2018 and is already providing a home for 46 orphaned children
“We received a miracle, it was a well!”
The people of Sierra Leone are suffering from a lack of access to clean and safe water.
Together with our partners, we were able to put in a water well and pump by our orphanage in Pendembu Njeigbla in Sierra Leone providing a complete water and sanitation solution. It makes an incredible impact.
The total project was a cost of $8000. Our children no longer have to walk miles to the closest river for bathing and washing.
To date we have constructed 17 water wells, an underground storage tank and 12 water tanks with gutters. We have also implemented running water at our orphanage in Zambia.
In order to fulfil our vision, we need to live Christ to those in need by providing in their basic needs such as taking care of orphans and widows, offer water supply, education and health care.
Through our many projects we strive to for the betterment of the people of Africa.
Education in Africa is a major priority for us. With our many theological seminaries as well as schooling projects we aim to empower the African people by giving them a high grade education.
