We have three basic programs.

The first program is to offer school fee assistance to deserving children/families.  They are as follows:

The family of Emmy is from the remote far western village of Rubaya near the border of Rwanda. The children that we have assisted are the younger siblings of Loyce – Immaculate, Enoch and Christine. All attend Rubaya Secondary school where Loyce teaches History and Geography.  Emmy is a subsistence farmer.  He and his brother share 10 acres where they plant food that they can eat.

Both class room instructions are offered at no cost to the students.  They meet five days a week from 9 AM to 4 PM.  All of the student walk to class.


Our third program is Church Building in and around the area of Kimillili, Kenya:

We, the board of directors wish to thank all of our faithful donors for their continued financial support and remembered prayers.

"For God is the one who gives seed to the farmer and then bread to eat.  In the same way, he will give you many opportunities to do good, and he will produce a great harvest of generosity in you.  Yes, you will be enriched so that you can give even more generously.  And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will break out in thanksgiving to God."                                  2 Corinthians 9: 10-11
