Impact Trip to Zambia Interest Meeting
Join us for an Interest Meeting about an upcoming Global Impact Trip to Zambia to work with Village of Hope from February 13-22, 2026. The meeting will take place Sunday, Nov. 16 at 12:15pm in the Conference Room at Fairfax Church. RSVP to valerienolan@fairfax.cc if you would like to attend.
Village of Hope is a community raising Zambian orphans and vulnerable children to become successful adults, leaders and followers of Christ. There are 1.6 million orphans living in Zambia. In 2006, 230 acres were purchased there to start Village of Hope. Since then, the village has taken in at-risk children who have no one else to care for them, started several medium-sized businesses to financially support the village, and founded the School of Hope. Village of Hope has created an holistic model where children live in loving homes led by house parents and are equipped with the knowledge and skills to succeed as adults and to create an economically sustainable community through hands-on job experience. It is a beautiful place of rescue, care, hope and restoration.
About the Trip: The Zambia impact team will focus on:
- leading Trauma Care workshops for houseparents and teachers,
- providing special education training for teachers,
- training for teachers at the School of Hope,
- and loving on the beautiful children at Village of Hope!
The team is specifically looking for teachers and trauma care professionals to join and support the ongoing work we have been doing with staff at Village of Hope. Optional sightseeing options can be added to this trip for those that are interested in seeing some of the beautiful safari land and special sights in Zambia.
