Bringing HOPE and a FUTURE
to ZAMBIA’s Orphans.
1.4 million Orphans
This represents nearly 1 out of every 25 children that has lost one or both parents in Zambia’s capital city Lusaka. Many orphans in Lusaka end up living on the streets. One study found that street children face major risks like abuse, exploitation, malnutrition, and lack of education.
God’s Love in Action
Providing housing, education, and Christian spiritual development to many orphaned and abandoned children. Operating from a Christian perspective, the ministry aims to demonstrate God's love by supplying for children's basic needs while integrating Biblical teaching across subjects.
Hope Clinic
Breath of Heaven expanded their services by opening Hope Clinic, providing basic medical care and health education to children at the village, as well as families in surrounding communities. Staffed by doctors and nurses, the clinic offers, routine check-ups, and basic treatment.
Securing Futures
Breath of Heaven Children's Ministries provides residential care, education, skills training, and health services to vulnerable orphans in Zambia. Our vision is building a Children's Village in Lusaka that will become a loving home and nurturing community for precious children. With over 1 million orphans in Zambia struggling with poverty, hunger, and abuse, Breath of Heaven is dedicated to giving these children the loving home and bright future they deserve.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Breath of Heaven exists not only to rescue kids from a life of hopelessness and despair but is intentional about ensuring each child has hope and a future. Each child’s progress and development is evaluated and planned along with our village social worker. Transition and reintegration into the community is a process that may include finding a trade or employment or further education. We now have transition homes on the property and in the community where the older children can be helped to become independent.

“Hope is an essential element in life. It is what sustains us during difficult times and enables us to dream dreams. Breath of Heaven is committed to rescuing orphans and breaking the chains of an orphan spirit that not only holds them back physically but emotionally and spiritually. We are committed to give them a hope and a future so that hope becomes the anchor for their souls. It is based upon faith in a relationship with Jesus and Knowing God as a father who loves them and will never leave them or forsake them.”

“Breath of Heaven Children’s Village is just as the name sounds. When you enter the gate, you feel as though you’ve entered a little patch of heaven on earth with the children laughing and playing, the beautiful homes, the school, the vocational college, the church, the Aquaponics, the chickens, the vegetation…it is a remarkable place indeed. But that’s just when you enter the gate; when you interact with the children, and hear their stories, and catch the excitement they have for their new hope and new life and new family…well there’s just nothing like it.”

“Breath of Heaven Children's Ministry began over 20 years ago with a desire to give the orphans of Zambia hope and a future. The Lord has poured out his blessings and hundreds of lives have been changed. It has been amazing to see these precious children find a home, experience the love of Jesus and receive an education. The Lord has transformed these children's lives and those who have had the privilege to be a part of this extraordinary ministry”
