Our Story
We Live and Lead Meaningful Change
Two long time friends, Shaka and Patrick grew up underprivileged in poverty-stricken homes. Their futures were bleak until missionary schools in their home area took them up and gave them an opportunity to quality education. Today, they are living that meaningful change & replicating their impact onto hundreds of children who were like them once.
What We Do
We don’t stop at giving children who have lost hope a new home and a family. We provide food, clothing, medical care and education. We also restore dignity to women within our community through skills empowerment so their families too can thrive.
Education
We believe that education is at the core of the success for any child. We make sure that quality learning is accessed by everyone.
Women Empowerment
Women form the majority of those living in poverty. They have fewer resources, less power and less influence. We work hard to change that.
Agriculture
Our agricultural projects allow us to grow food that helps sustain the people we serve in our Friends for Life villages.
Talent Center
Every child is born with a talent. Through our talent academy, children harness their sports and arts talents to enhance their academic learning.
