2023 Ministry Impact Report

Our Core Programs:

Women's Empowerment: The Sew Powerful Vocational Sewing Program is designed to train and then employ women in Zambia to make a difference in their community. Ten reasons we love Women's Empowerment.

Girls Empowerment: The Sew Powerful Purse Program isn't just education - it's true empowerment. We unlock 6 weeks of school per girl, on average, and fuel their academic success. See how our Girls Empowerment Program works here.

School Feeding Initiative: In partnership with Convoy Of Hope and through our 3 Esthers Farm and Tikondane Backyard Gardens Program, we feed over 9,000 children daily school lunches - and provide food to hundreds of vulnerable families. Learn more here.

Sharing The Good News: In partnership with One Hope International, we share the good news of Jesus with students we serve. By 2030 we hope to reach 250,000 children.
