About Wild Hope

Not a school.
Not an orphanage.
A place where children are seen.

In Victoria Falls, a generation of children carries a future the world has yet to meet.

Wild Hope walks alongside them — through after-school programs that build emotional resilience, conservation literacy, creative expression, and real-world life skills. We create safe, supportive spaces where children and youth can grow, learn, and thrive.

The children who walked through our doors couldn't read English. Some hadn't eaten a full meal that day. Most had never been asked what they hoped for.

Now they have a family. They have a rhythm. They have language, confidence, and — for many of them for the first time — someone who shows up every single day.

Wild Hope is supported by Revolved — a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 33-2747499) founded to build long-haul, place-based programs in partnership with the communities they serve. Donations to Wild Hope flow through Revolved and are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law.

The Work

Four pillars, woven into every week.

Our curriculum is built around four pillars — woven through every week of programming. Strong minds. Confident voices. Respect for the land. Tools to thrive.

Mental Health & Character

Strong minds, kind hearts, bright futures.

English & Literacy

Confidence in reading, writing, and speaking.

Conservation & Wildlife

Respect for the land and coexistence with the wildlife we share our home with.

Entrepreneurship & Skills

Tools to work, earn, and thrive.

2025 — 2026 · Year One

Twelve months. Something shifted.

"The children planted a garden. Baboons destroyed it. They replanted it." — From the Year One Report

The full report is honest about what worked, what didn't, and what we're building toward in Year Two.
