House Of Hope In Lusaka West
The Lusaka West House of Hope is Elizabeth Hill
Magson’s dream.
Elizabeth was born in Zambia and emigrated to
Australia with her husband, David. However, whenever she visited
Zambia, she noticed the growing poverty levels and started to think
of ways she coul be of service to the country of her birth.
She and David decided that the best way would be to
purchase 23 acres of land in Lusaka West, which they have done and
for the land to be divided into two parts – thirteen acres to use as
an orphanage and old folks home and the remaining ten to be kept for
family use.
Her sister-in-law, Rose Hill, who lives in Zambia,
has been assisting Elizabeth with the various formalities needed to
get such a project off the ground and The Lusaka West House of Hope
is now registered with the Registrar of Socieities and has an
interim board in place.
The property for the orphanage is situated near a
school as well as a church meaning that orphans will be able to
attend school locally, once the buildings for the orphanage have
been built.
