Zambia Hope is First to Receive HMF Support
The first overseas non-profit supported by Hope Mountain is
Zambia Hope International (www.ZambiaHope.org).
In 2006, HMF director Thomas Cromwell visited Zambia and met
with the director of Zambia Hope, Adamson Musonda, a native
of Zambia.
Zambia Hope is run by Adamson and his wife Anne, and dedicated
to helping Zambia's 1.25 million children who have been orphaned
by the HIV/AIDS pandemic or who are living in dire circumstances.
In a short period of time, Zambia Hope has developed a farm,
now 120 acres, both to provide food for the orphans and income
for the four schools it supports.
In late 2007, Adamson Musonda was hosted by HMF for a visit
to local schools, religious organizations and Frederick County
officials, where he explained his programs and began to establish
links to interested individuals and organizations who have
expressed an interest in supporting Zambia Hope.
Several articles related to his visit were published in the
local press:

HMF is producing a film about Zambia Hope that it will distribute
to interested parties.
