Today a hero was laid to rest. Charles Masala was our founder, our friend, our brother - he went to be with the Lord after a tragic bike accident. He was laid to rest at the school at Dwankhozi Hope to honor his legacy. Over 2000 people joined to pay their respects to this very special man, including our Board Chair - Marisa Gulbranson Gronholz. We at Dwankhozi Hope will strive to continue in his vision of empowering our future generations through education and hope to dream wider! Rest in peace Charles Masala - you will always be remembered.

We mourn the loss of our founder and dear friend, Charles Masala. Charles embodied Dwankhozi Hope and has been the inspiration for our mission. He grew up in a community very similar to Dwankhozi in the Eastern Province of Zambia. Through education, he impacted change. As a successful engineer, he was involved in projects around the globe to transform the physical world through design. As an authentic human being, he built relationships across cultures and connected communities together. As an inspirational leader, he realized a dream that education could change lives and transform the world. As a strong man of faith, he followed his calling to act justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with our God. Charles Masala made the world a better place. We at Dwankhozi Hope are committed to ensuring his legacy lives on.
