Do
you have goals you are working toward in your future as a mission? For the
children?
Yes,
our organization is child-focused community based and encourages integrated
interventions as the needs of orphans and vulnerable children do not exist in
isolation. What
is your philosophy of care in regards to children? Our
philosophy is to bring glory to God by providing better living conditions and
good education in a Christian environment to orphans, widows, and the needy. To
uphold the sanctity of human life by meeting the physical, emotional and
spiritual needs of orphaned children. I
want to help the poor…how much should I give? Do
you seek to keep families together? (Try to involve relatives) Yes,
We try to extend the parent-child relationship in this we decrease the
vulnerability experienced by the child. If
I help sponsor a child, or help another project can I visit it? Yes
of course. Please contact us prior to traveling so that we may help in any way How
much of my donation will reach the poor? 94%
or more (up to 100% on selected projects) of your donation will be spent
directly on the project! How
long will it take to get my donation to the needy?
Instantly in most cases! Aid is allocated & work started in advance of your
payment. Only projects such as building, take time. In such cases you will be
sent photographs, location of project etc. on completion. How
do you get my funds to the needy in times of emergencies and other disaster?
Mostly by bank transfer as we have person’s representing us worldwide. How
is AIDS awareness/prevention /understanding etc part of your project? Lack
of awareness about AIDS has resulted in fear, shame and denial. The resulting
wall of silence had hindered prevention and care efforts. The
ministry now works with other stakeholders to reduce the stigma so that people
can support vulnerable children and they take advantage of the available
resources. Some
believe AIDS is punishment, how would you respond to that? 1.
Supporting the
spiritual element of life through counselling can help people share the burdens,
express their grief, tell stories and face the future with hope. Counsellors
whether trained or not, from a religious faith or not, have understood that they
are being invited into the living space of other people. The conversations that
happen there are often painful and difficult, and we know that our role is to
support not to judge. 2.
And one on to
one counselling about HIV/AIDS is also the key to any communication effort.
How
would your Christian beliefs influence what you do? How are they visible at your
project? Community has understood that it is through God and prayer that they are seeing the fruits in their community. Although the gospel has been presented through the pulpit and possibly crusades, we feel our approach through charitable activities has greatly contributed to getting Christ known in our community. |
