Our only wish is to reach every pregnant mother who needs support with delivery items for there are several of them in our community. And to tell you; a wish acted on and prayed for is a promise from God to be fulfilled.

There are several organizations around our community providing maternal health education, antenatal care, and supporting with nutrition of breast feeding mothers; but don't provide delivery items which we have realized are essential. There has been reported fatalities by mothers not being welcomed and admitted at the hospitals when ready to deliver, and also worrying so much; because of lacking delivery items to hold in their new born babies (Core delivery Items we give include: Mother Kit, Blanket, and Basin).

Our prayer is that we get the support we need to emphasize and realise this. God bless you.

Women are pivotal more so when it comes to raising the future generation. They need to be cared about. A vote of thanks goes to all women that have stood with me to reach out support and encourage many women. Thank you Jaclyn, Maryanne, Trudy and Chris, Eugene among others.

Please find what we do in our 5 Programs of Intervention.

1) Food Relief Program. We give Life Saving Food assistance to vulnerable persons and those in most need and suffering, including widows, orphans, single mothers and child headed families/unaccompanied minors. Here we work with village health teams VHT's in identification and registration to reach the targeted beneficiaries. We are serving with food to birth comfort and emotional support in the name of Jesus Christ. Here we are sharing the Gospel which is most important.

2) Maternal Health/ Motherhood Aid Program. Here we help expectant/pregnant mothers yet to deliver with delivery items. We give them core items when one is ready to deliver that include Mother Kit, Blanket, and Basin. These items are always asked before one is allowed in the maternity ward. We also do maternal health education on nutritious foods to work on their health and that of their unborn child. We want to save the lives of children for children are the future generation that we should not lose now. 

3) Super Saturday Children's Fellowship and Descipleship Program. Here we gather community children irrespective of their margin, religion, condition/ state, ethnicity or tribe in one place.  Children meet with an aim of learning together and sharing about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Children also learn good morals, life skills, share out their concerns that are solved through group, and learn working together and finding solutions as a group. 

4) MHPSS Program. MHPSS is Incorporated in all our 5 programs; for there is no health without mental health, only what differs is the level of mental illness and how we handle the different situations/triggers to mental illness. 

MHPSS addresses a person's emotional, social, mental, and spiritual needs all essential elements of positive human development. 

We provide counselling services, psychoeducation, and psychological first aid (PFA). This is to our direct referrals from our awareness raisings and indirect referrals from refugee welfare committees/community structures, and other implementing partners we work with in our community.

5) We also respond to crisis situations, and currently there is a water need that we are hoping and looking forward to address.

God bless you abundantly
