Vision of Hope

Providing refuge, rehabilitation and family reintegration for girls and young women living on the streets of Lusaka.

Egmont Partner, Vision of Hope (VOH), is the only organisation working exclusively with girls living on the streets of Lusaka. Their mission is to combat violence against street girls, improve their educational prospects, provide refuge and rehabilitation, and ultimately re-unite girls and young women with their families or extended family members.

VOH has a shelter where girls can stay, wash and access nutritional food, while the staff works to trace their families and undertakes home visits to ensure that the street children can be re-united with their relatives safely. Once the girls are safe, secure and well cared for, VOH enrols them in local schools and supports their educational needs, such as uniforms, shoes, writing materials and provides extra tuition.
