Serge and Nancy Bersaglio bring lasting hope to Villages of Hope Africa (VOH) children by providing them with holistic (emotional, intellectual, physical, social, spiritual) loving care.

In sub-Saharan Africa, millions of children have no access to education, or their parents don’t have the means to send them to school. Without proper education and essentials like nutrition and healthcare, little hope exists for many children in this region of the world.

In 1999, Serge and Nancy helped start VOH, which at that time was only a preschool, with 43 children enrolled. Today, this ministry has grown to over 7,200 students annually with centres in Burundi, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Each centre operates a school, often the very heart of the community.

As Executive Directors of VOH, their primary focus is to lead, guide, and mentor the seven incredible VOH directors and approximately 450 staff who work tirelessly to care for children coming from often very challenging situations. The Bersaglios work closely with their families, caregivers, various levels of government, community leaders, and others in their communities. Their passion is to both disciple the children to know how much Jesus loves them, and to keep them as safe as they possibly can through various safeguarding means.
