THE KIDS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY

Sharing Our Table

When I consider what God sees every day, I know he looks upon the entire world. As His hands and feet on the earth, we have the great feat of responsibly sharing our talents and resources.

In my twenty years working in Africa, the below is the most vital initiative I have encountered to combat hunger. This grassroots initiative could change the story for hungry children in Africa. Mozambique is a country where 41% percent of children under age 5 are chronically malnourished, and 20% of children die before age 5.

This initiative will:

  • Educate mothers, fathers, and hospitals on accessible changes to early childhood diets.

  • Educate on the importance of drinking clean water.

  • Provide nutrition to children identified with acute malnutrition.

  • Provide clean water filters for villages.

Through the 18 months of this initiative, we anticipate 200 children on the brink of starvation will be saved, and countless more deaths will be prevented. The education provided has the potential to become a grass-roots movement that will improve the health of Mozambique and the whole of Africa.

The Dream Project is happy to share with you or a group anytime personally. Please join us on a Zoom call with our Mozambique staff nutritionist, who will explain the initiative and answer questions on Sunday, December 8 at 2 PM EST. Please text me at 248.703.6518 to receive a call Zoom link.

In 2024, no child should die of starvation or a preventable water-borne illness. We appreciate every support you can give to make this initiative a reality. Please join me sharing this initiative & becoming a voice for voiceless children.

What We Do

INSPIRING AFRICA TOGETHER!

THE LORD SETS THE LONELY IN FAMILIES. PSALM 68:6

 

Housing

Twelve young men were raised at 'Our Father's House' and provided with all of their basic necessities, including a place to live. These boys have now grown up and we continue to support them as they transition into higher education, vocational school, and their roles as adult leaders in the community. Our center is currently functioning as a transitional home as we transition the boys to independence and build them each a small home to begin their independent lives.

Community Support

Aside from the 12 children we have raised in our house, there are several families including dozens of children in the community who receive assistance with identity documents and education. Additionally, depending on individual needs, they receive assistance with health, housing, food, and additional basic needs. Many of the families we assist are led by widows. We support children be raised in family environments in the community or in small orphanage settings of 12 children per home.

Medical Assistance

We provide help with medical needs in our community, we also provide health instruction to prevent some of the most devastating illnesses.

 

Christian Discipleship

Teaching the children in our care the ways of the Lord Jesus are of paramount importance for us. Many of our young men participate in an intensive 6-month discipleship training program with Youth With A Mission. Some of the children who graduate from the orphanage go on to participate in further Bible training as adults.

Education

One of our values is to provide education for those who cannot afford it. We provide school fees, books, and uniforms (when necessary) and identity documents paid for by The Dream Project. Many children might otherwise not have the opportunity to receive formal education.

Mission Efforts

Many long and short-term missions teams and individuals spend time working with the children and improving the lives of those in Mozambique through The Dream Project. Projects range from building projects to medical missons and everything in between. If you or your church group are interested in coming to visit us in Mozambique, please contact us at julia@thedreamproject.org.
