PARTNERSHIP MODEL We take an approach of deep humility and build strong relationships by coming alongside organizations already addressing the needs of children in their community We then bring significant resources and value to our partner organizations, by fostering effective leadership and management skills that empower partner organizations’ local and indigenous leaders We care about the communities that the children we serve live in as we believe strong and healthy communities translate to strong and healthy children – the goal of Spark Ventures.

CURRENT PARTNERSHIP Hope Fellowship Ministries officially began operations in 2005 in Ndola, Zambia as a small non-governmental organization Hope helps vulnerable children through two main avenues: – Hope House Orphanage 24-hour care facility House parents and a social worker to monitor the health and development of each child 15 children in the program – Hope Community School (1 st – 7 th Grade) Children who cannot afford the cost of government or private schooling come to Hope to receive a quality education that they can afford. Currently, Roughly 200 children in the program
