Fountain of Hope is a special place for a lot of us.They are doing everything they can to protect children and the Fountain Family during the COVID-19 outbreak and have taken in 70 more children. They need some help.
We hope you and your families are safe during these uncertain times. Another family that we know will be in your thoughts during this time is Fountain of Hope (FOH). FOH is an orphanage in Lusaka, providing a safe location for children who would otherwise be living in the streets. It’s one big family and a hub of the community for many activities. Fountain have gone even further in their work to safeguard the children of Lusaka, making provisions for an additional 70 children to become residents in advance of Covid-19 outbreak. FOH have now shut their doors to the rest of the community in order to keep their family safe.
We know this is really uncertain time for all which is why we are launching the Fountain of Hope 2020 appeal. We want to ensure that they can look after these 300 children safely during this pandemic. In order to support them we are initiating a £1500 fundraising campaign which will cover three essential costs. Medicine and health care, bedding for the new children to sleep on, and the maintenance of cookers which is essential in making sure all 300 children get three meals a day. We appreciate anything you are able to give. To make a one off donation please go to https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/FountainofHopeAppeal2020.
Thank you!
While coronavirus has put a temporary hold on growth of the hubsites, Sport in Action continue to plan and implement some incredibly exciting staff changes. The creation of the Sport Development Team will see more hubsites being created and more children having access to sport. There is some amazing plans for when coronavirus is over. Stay tuned for introductions to the new sport development staff.
We are one big ZamFam we need to look after each other during this hard time. Sending you some ZamLove
