Child Sponsorship
No one person can do everything, but everyone can do something.
Child sponsorship is our central program, and we continue to support medical initiatives and educational opportunities in both rural and urban communities.
Your sponsorship of $45 a month ensures your sponsored child receives support through every phase of his or her young life. It provides basic necessities like sturdy shoes and clothing, school uniforms, tuition and school supplies, health care as well as medicine and nutritional support to help your child stay healthy.
Enjoy writing letters and recording short videos to be shared with your sponsored student(s) presented by our Zambian partner Shield of Love. Additionally, Hope’s Doorway makes an annual trip once a year to Zambia, so your small lightweight gifts are hand delivered to your sponsored student(s).
Empowerment of Women Program
Shield of Love helps women learn a trade, so they can provide for their families, including the cost of schooling for their children. This program eliminates poverty by incorporating entrepreneurship, and it enhances knowledge of the sponsored children’s guardians. A few of the small businesses our empowerment women have started include selling vegetables, baking and selling fritters, selling clothing, selling houseware items, selling coal, and sewing a variety of handbags, uniforms, and the like. When you donate toward our empowerment of women program, you make it financially possible for these women and their families to rise out of poverty.
Completion of Mutamino Village Classroom
Hope’s Doorway and Shield of Love worked together to bring the Mutamino Village classroom to completion in 2021. This building houses tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. Thank you to the donors who brought this project to fruition and a special thanks to Pine Valley Church for their generous donation. Our next collaborative construction project is to build a community center in the rural village. We are currently fundraising for the first phase of this project, which is to purchase land and install a borehole.
College Scholarship Program
Bridget Malakata and Esnart Banda are the first two sponsored students to attend college. Bridget is a special education teacher with expertise in sign language, and Esnart is studying to be a nurse. With continued support, more sponsored students that graduate high school will be able to pursue higher education.
Land and Borehole Fundraiser
With the success of our vehicle fundraiser, Hope’s Doorway and Shield of Love are now moving toward their next goal in 2025 to purchase land and install a borehole in a rural village in Chongwe. Many of our sponsored students live in rural villages, and they are without access to sufficient water and training facilities to further the expansion and sustainability of their community. The land purchased will become the construction site to build a community center that will house the library and training classrooms as well as become a central location for trade and commerce for the village.

Collection Drive
We are currently collecting children’s clothing, children’s shoes, and large suitcases, which the clothing and shoes will be distributed to our sponsored students during our upcoming August trip to Zambia. We use the large suitcases to bring supplies to Zambia as well as bring African art back to the states. Thank you for considering Hope’s Doorway!
