About Hope Ignited

Hope Ignited believes in engaging local Canadian communities to help make this happen. This has always been a “we” project and the support of family, friends and community have made all this possible. Canadians get directly involved and see the impact they are making. They are also empowered and may also find their own dreams realized in the process.
Hope Ignited believes in sparking hope and igniting dreams (in Zambia and in Canada)—something every person deserves to have and what God wants for us all.
About Me
In 2008, I visited and fell in love with the people of the Kamafwesa community in Zambia. I was inspired by their courage and joy despite their circumstances.
Through my own journey, I have seen the way the love and hope of God can transform a person. Just a little hope can pick us up and help us keep going through the most difficult of circumstances.
I lived in Zambia for three years and then found I had to come back to Canada. It was a very hard transition and for the longest time, I couldn't fathom investing part of myself in missions projects again. But here I am, happy and excited and this new phase. What a blessing to be part of something that can really change people's lives.
