Humanitarian and TikTok star Dora Moono Nyambe, founder of the nonprofit Footprints of Hope school, is dead at age 32.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the sudden departure of our beloved Dora,” a Dec. 27 Instagram post read. No c cause of death has not been revealed. However, the message read that Nyambe will be remembered as “a loved mother, heroine, peace philanthropist and an extraordinary woman.”
After she observed the conditions of the kids in the village, she decided to stay and build a school in Zambia to provide them with resources. “When I came here, I saw that there were a lot of kids getting [sexually assaulted], there were a lot of kids that had babies; just a lot of bad things happening.”
In a follow-up video, Nyambe, who said she did not have biological kids, revealed that she adopted the younger kids in the village while the older kids moved on from her schools and were able to sustain themselves.
With a lack of resources and no government funding to accommodate all of the kids in the village, she used her social media platforms to raise awareness as the community continued to grow and its demand for resources.
“I can’t turn any kids away,” she said then. “I don’t operate like that.”
Footprints of Hope provided contact to a family representative and school administrator on Instagram for those who wished to support.
