In 2006, Hoops of Hope participants shot tens of thousands of free-throws and raised over $85,000 to help build the Johnathan Sim Legacy School in Twachiyanda, Zambia.
Last year, participants around the world shot hoops and raised over $198,000 to build a medical lab and counseling center in Sinazongwe, Zambia.
In 2008, Hoops of Hope is continuing to raise money in an ongoing effort to relieve suffering among AIDS orphans throughout sub-Saharan Africa. We will be raising money for a second medical lab to be built in the community of Chilala, Zambia. This lab will specialize in the prevention of mother to baby AIDS transmission and will be located near the site of the Johnathan Sim Legacy School, built with 2006 funds.
