Feeding Program

Hope Community School is in Twapia, one of the Ndola neighborhoods. The children who attend this school receive hot meals two times a week. Nshima (a staple starch food), beans and ocassionally small pieces of meat are cooked and served to the children following class.

Over 200 hundred children attend the school and anxiously await the meal after class. Almost all of them come from poor homes where consistent nutrition is rare; many have been orphaned and live with grandparents or extended family members. With the help of Spark Ventures, the school is providing not only education, but meeting basic physical needs.


Some of the North Park students had the opportunity to help serve the meal.

Others played with the children who were waiting.
