As many of you know Peter’s sister became really unwell prior to Christmas and passed away. It was a real shock to us and also all of our family in Zambia, as Itah was such a beautiful and vibrant soul and the beating heart of the Hichaaba family in Mazabuka.
As Itah was a widow, our grief quickly turned to grave concerns about the safety and care of Itah’s three orphaned children – two sons, Moses aged 14 and Raban aged 9, and a daughter, Mapalo aged 11. Children are so vulnerable in Africa, particularly females.
This campaign is to raise funds for school fees for Mapalo to come to Australia to study for high school. We are also providing the education expenses for her two brothers in Zambia. We want to impact the cycle of poverty and by educating Mapalo in Australia we hope that she can help us to support herself and support her family.
You guys are amazing! Hope the process goes smoothly x
