In this powerful episode of Debt to Financial Freedom, host Victor Lagos sits down with Grant Chugg—Managing Director of Grant Chugg Plumbing and board member of Villages of Life. Grant shares an emotional, eye-opening account of his humanitarian work in Burundi, one of the poorest countries in the world, where conflict has recently displaced over 50,000 people, most of whom are women and children.
What began as a business trip evolved into a mission to restore hope. Grant speaks about building schools in underserved villages, the impact of grassroots partnerships, and how something as small as $25 can provide two weeks’ worth of food and clean water for an entire family. Through a unique “hand-up, not handout” approach, Villages of Life empowers communities to become self-sufficient, all while restoring dignity and opportunity through education and infrastructure.
You’ll hear firsthand what it’s like to look into a child’s eyes and see no hope—until the promise of education changes everything.
Listeners will walk away with perspective, purpose, and a renewed understanding of how even the smallest act of generosity can spark real, lasting change.
