Overview

Mission

N matthew 25, jesus commands us to care for those we see in need. We believe the best way to do this is to partner with sponsors who act as kinsman redeemers in their own country. These sponsors understand the needs in their small section of the world and are able to focus on projects that can produce tangible change. Our approach includes targeted micro-grants with a narrow focus and specific start and end dates. Funded programs meet a wide range of needs, including care centers for children, immunizations, salaries for teachers, scholarships for education, and blankets. We take the time to listen to our in-country sponsors who have firsthand knowledge of the community and needs.

What it reported doing in 2022

To care for orphans and those in need by providing assistance, including but not limited to, meeting clothing, shelter, nutritional, medical, and educational needs
