Hazel’s Place opened in Pakistan in January 2022 as a safe, hope‑filled school offering free education to children working in the brick‑kiln industry. The school was created to protect vulnerable boys and girls from exploitation and generational slave labor by bringing them into a classroom instead of the kilns.

By giving these children education, care, and a pathway out of forced work, Hazel’s Place exists to break cycles of poverty and open the door to a brighter future.

The children arrived at Victory Children’s Home in Myanmar on May 15, 2017, marking a joyful and hope‑filled new beginning for all 50 children—25 girls and 25 boys. Each child was welcomed with their own bed, new clothing, healthy meals, and the assurance of a safe, loving environment where they would be cared for in every way.

What had once been fear and uncertainty quickly turned into excitement as the children discovered not only a new home, but a new family ready to support them, nurture them, and help them thrive.

Victory Children’s Homes adopted a struggling orphanage in Kisumu in 2013, transforming it from a deteriorated facility into a thriving Christian children’s home and school. The home was in severe disrepair and no longer able to adequately care for the children living there.

Victory Children’s Homes stepped in, assumed full responsibility, and immediately began restoring and upgrading the entire property. What was once a rundown orphanage became the Victory Family Home of Champions—a safe, vibrant, and well‑equipped campus where children receive education, nutrition, spiritual support, and the care they need to thrive.

Victory Children’s Homes opened the Victory Family Home of Champions in Rwanda in 2007, stepping into a nation still healing from the devastation of the Rwandan genocide. The home began by rescuing orphaned children who were surviving in heartbreaking conditions on the streets, offering them safety, stability, and a place to belong. Raising them up with the knowledge that they are overcomers and champions

VCHIF was founded in 2005 by Dr Hazel Lurline Hill, an Australian born Canadian who has over 40 years of experience on the mission field.

Victory opened its first orphanage in India in 1997 with a heartfelt mission to rescue orphaned children from exploitation and give them a safe, hope‑filled future. From the beginning, the homes have primarily welcomed girls, offering protection, education, and the stability every child deserves. What started as a single act of compassion has grown into a lasting commitment to restore dignity and opportunity to some of India’s most vulnerable children.

Victory launched sewing schools in India as a compassionate response to the tragic reality faced by women who were vulnerable to bride burnings. After Pastor Hazel met survivors in the late 1980s/early 1990s, she was moved to create the first sewing school, giving women a practical skill that allowed them to earn income and meet dowry demands—often the difference between safety and severe harm. These schools have since become a lifeline, offering dignity, protection, and hope to women who might otherwise face unimaginable danger.
