The Village of Hope (VOH) is a mission project that provides a home to children who have been orphaned by the devastating effects of the AIDs pandemic. The Village of Hope program is sponsored by the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC).

There are three in southern Africa - Kitwe, Zambia; Harare, Zimbabwe; and the latest one, Lilongwe, Malawi. Plans are underway to develop a fourth site in the capital of Zambia - Lusaka.

The oldest is Kitwe, Zambia where construction of the first home began in 1997. The home was officially opened in July 1999. This complex is fully operational and is home to about 700 orphans. The second was Harare, Zimbabwe and two chidrens' homes already exist there. When fully operational, the complex will house 18 homes in all, housing about 200 children. The newest one in Lilongwe, Malawi will have 12 children's homes and house 144 orphans.

The orphan home complexes are designed to keep the concept of the extended family and care for the children until they are adults. Each house will have twelve children sharing the first two bedrooms and a "house mother" in the third bedroom. The idea is to make it as much like a home as possible. Each house mother cares for and cooks for her twelve children. Each house will also have an "auntie" or "granny" who will come in to help with cooking, cleaning and other household tasks.

Bulk food on a weekly basis is provided to each house mother for her to prepare for her family. However there is a set menu for all the houses in the complex so that all the children get the same things.

School facilities are also provided so that children in the VOH site, and in the surrounding community, have access to education. There is also a clinic on site that meets the basic medical needs of the children.
