Testimonials
All our actions and initiatives are conceived and implemented to bring positives changes on the lives of underserved communities
Fleeing persecution from Burundi I arrived in Dzaleka refugee camp Malawi with my five children and nothing else after losing my husband and everything during the armed conflicts. I was hopeless because I had no food for my children, I was crying day and night and was traumatized. I have been realized since I received money from Fountain Of Hope and started my business that is helping me a lot with my children. I am happy now.
