Orphanage and Education Project
Out first project is the support of New Hope Africa Children Ministries. New Hope is a grassroots, non-profit organization serving the orphans and vulnerable children caught up in the twin crises of HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty. New Hope provides food, healthcare, education and a home to over seventy desperately needy children. New Hope is motivated by God’s compassion for the poor and love for the helpless, and seeks to protect the most defenseless members of African society, to release them from the bondage of poverty, and to show them love, give them hope, and lead them to a bright future.

Microcredit Project In the U.S. it is hard to believe that a $25 -$50 dollar business loan can really help anyone. But, in places such as East Africa many times this is all that is needed to spur growth and allow individuals to break out of the cycle of poverty. In rural Uganda the majority of the population is self employed. People’s businesses range from peasant farming, petty trading, working in small restaurants, bars, hotels, while others sell foodstuffs and old clothes in the market. Over 80% of generated income goes directly to food, and sometimes even more than that. What little money that is left over usually goes to lodging and other small obligations. Needless to say this does not leave any extra money to invest back into a business. The money borrowed through microcredit could be used to expand an existing business or to start a new one. By providing credit, on easy terms, a farmer or peasant caught in the cycle of poverty will now be empowered to break free. We believe that microcredit will be one of the key factors to seeing extreme poverty eliminated. With an emphasis on the children EAMP is specifically targeting single mothers living in extreme poverty. For More information please see our Microcredit Project |
