BEAUTIFUL VICTORIA FALLS

BEAUTIFUL VICTORIA FALLS

Described by many as "The Real Africa," Zambia shares a border with Zimbabwe that is formed by Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

Hallelujah House of Yahweh (HHY) operates out of a 65 acre parcel in north central Zambia about 20 miles outside of Ndola, the second largest city in Zambia. Our property, referred to as "the farm," houses the HHY family of orphaned children and our staff, as well as our farmstead that includes pigs, goats, chickens, an orchard, and a large vegetable garden.
