Helping Children in Africa

The story of VIMA

A 7 year old orphan boy in Ghana, Africa was given his first ever pair of shoes. These shoes allowed him to make the long walk to school. Beyond an education which was sponsored by a German missionary visiting his village, his shoes gave him confidence and hope. Those shoes lead him into a job which took him to America. Now through VIMA he gives shoes, clothing, medical supplies, confidence and hope to the children in Ghana and beyond.
