Unite to Make a Difference Together
Who
we are
The Helen Masuwa Foundation was established on 17th July 2023 and officially launched as an NGO on 20th July 2024 in North-Western Province, Zambia, in loving memory of Mrs. Helen Hindson Masuwa , who originally came from Northern Ireland. Helen was a devoted missionary at Kalene Mission Hospital, where she dedicated her life to serving the community with compassion and faith.
Beyond her calling, Helen had a deep concern for orphans and vulnerable children, always extending a helping hand to those in need. Inspired by her legacy of faith, love, and service, the Foundation continues her mission to support children and teens in Ikelenge District, an area that extends to the borders of Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Helen was married to Mr. Paul Masuwa, who remains dedicated to carrying forward her vision.

Education – Providing tools and opportunities to help vulnerable children learn and grow.
Empowerment – Equipping young people with skills to build a better future.
Community – Strengthening the local community by uplifting its most vulnerable members.
Compassion – Making sure every child feels genuinely loved, valued, and consistently supported.
