Our Purpose

Breath of Heaven Children’s Ministries is an international humanitarian organization which is committed to bringing hope and a future to orphans and vulnerable children. Our current vision is to build a Children’s Village complex in Lusaka, Zambia, which will provide residential care for up to 168 children in a family-like environment catering to their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. When built out, the complex will consist of 14 individual family homes, a community church, school facilities serving students through grade 12, a Vocational Training Center, and a fully equipped medical clinic. After opening our doors in January, 2010, we now have 10 homes completed with 96 children in residence. In addition, the church, school, and medical clinic are all in operation. These facilities allow us to serve the spiritual, educational, and health needs of the surrounding community as well as the children in our care.

The current population of Zambia is 20 million people. Extreme poverty and the AIDS/HIV crisis continue to take their toll. According to USAID September 23, 2023 report, it is estimated that there are 1.3 orphans and vulnerable children as well as adolescents who are infected or affected by HIV. As many as 500,000 are double orphans who have lost both parents. There are thousands who have no one to care for them. Most eat only one meal a day and many live in fear of being physically or sexually abused. They have also been abandoned and rejected. They come to us depressed, frightened and feeling unloved. They have lived a life of hopelessness and despair.

We believe every child has a right to a family home where they are loved, secure, protected and free to be a child knowing their tomorrows are full of hope and that dreams can become a reality. This is our commitment, challenge and promise to the orphans of Zambia. These are the children we are called to rescue.

You can help us change a child’s life.
