UGA01c - Chosen Generation Community School


Mbale village was formed by internally displaced people from the city of Mbale. They are poor and trying to eke out a living from fishing. There is a great deal of drunkenness, abuse and very few children were going to school. Timothy and Janepher wanted to do something so sent some teachers to this village to start a school.

ZAM07b - Chifundo Orphan Care


Rosemary Daka and her late husband Lonard have been church planting in this area of Zambia for about 35 years. As they developed churches they were swamped by the needs of the vulnerable children and their guardians. They started 'Chifundo' to care for the children, to resource and encourage the guardians, to get the children into school and assist the community.

ZAM13b - Bethesda Mercy Ministry


Disabled people are often an unreached people group because they are usually thrown out of home due to the belief that they are cursed and will bring a curse to families. Normally the father will leave the family and the mother is left to look after these children but they have no ability to look after them well in terms of finance or skills so often children are just left alone.

SELF-SUSTAINING PARTNERSHIPS

Egypt, Middle East

EGY04 - The Holiness Movement Small Loan Empowerment


The Christian communities of Egypt have traditionally been poor, especially in Upper Egypt. Most are daily workers and they usually only get seasonal work. Life is tough for them, made more difficult by the fact that they are an oppressed minority. They have few or no resources to fall back on and the church is their community. This partnership is about developing a loan fund from which people can borrow to start up small enterprises and so lift themselves out of poverty.

By the end of the dry season only mud is left in the pools, the water is contaminated, crops have failed and the people are even more hungry. Like many parts of Kenya, HIV/AIDS is rampant.

MAD02a - Livestock Bank


The support of emerging Christian leaders with Operation Mobilization (OM) is the key objective of this project. Without the ability to create a local base for supporting key people, this program will always struggle to survive. Even though the leaders are quite young there are opportunities for this to work. It is not uncommon for both male and female young people to have their own animals. The barrier is being able to get the initial animals as many of the families have huge numbers of children as men have multiple wives. Children are under severe pressure to drop out of school to assist their families economically by herding the cattle or the girls are married off so they cease to be an economic burden. This project will give young people much more control of their own destiny.
