About Us

In the shadows of Victoria Falls, a remarkable story unfolds—a story of resilience, love, and hope. Tobias Mupfuti, once a vulnerable child abandoned by his parents, found himself navigating the perilous streets of Zimbabwe. In a world where safety was fleeting and basic needs were a daily battle, Tobias learned the harsh realities of survival. Each day brought new challenges: finding shelter, securing food, and striving for dignity in a life fraught with danger.

Yet, within this struggle, a fire ignited in him—a passion for boxing that became both an escape and a sanctuary. The ring, with its demands and discipline, mirrored his life’s relentless fight. Each punch he threw was not just a blow against an opponent; it was a testament to his tenacity and an embodiment of his journey from the streets to success. His natural talent and unwavering dedication led him to become a revered boxing coach and the proud Founder and Head Coach of the Victoria Falls Boxing Academy and Children’s Home.

But even as he achieved success, the shadows of his past lingered, reminding him of the countless children who still faced the struggles he once did. This connection to his own history fueled his desire to make a difference.

Today, Tobias and his wife, Shuvai, have transformed their love for boxing into a beacon of hope for the orphaned children of Victoria Falls. With limited resources, they open their hearts and home, welcoming these children as if they were their own. Each child is embraced with warmth, care, and the promise of a brighter future.

At the Victoria Falls Boxing Academy & Children’s Home, every child not only learns the art of boxing but also discovers the power of family, support, and belonging. Tobias and Shuvai nurture their dreams, instilling in them the belief that, just like in the ring, they too can fight for their futures. Together, they are rewriting the narrative for these children—transforming their struggles into stories of hope and resilience.

In the heart of Victoria Falls, a new generation is rising, inspired by the unwavering spirit of their mentors. Here, amidst the backdrop of the magnificent falls, dreams are not just born; they are fiercely fought for.
