EQUIPPED FOR LIFE

Provision without equipping breeds dependence.
                                             
      Provision with equipping develops independence.
                                             
            Independence leads to self-sustaining enterprise.

WHAT WILL YOUR DOLLARS DO?

OUR METHOD:

Our objective is to provide  assistance to people who are disadvantaged due to the barriers of their environment or location by helping them secure their basic human needs. 
We accomplish this through a method called


                         Equipped for Life:
  • Seeds of Life:  agricultural assistance through developed approaches to producing food;
  • Fishers For Men: hydroponics, fish farming & fish smoking;
  • Skills for Life: basic training in crafts and trades;
  • Water of Life:  clean water/water wells;
  • Learning for Life: educational curriculum to disadvantaged schools;
  • Sounds of Life:  the Word of God in audio format, in either English or indigenous language; 
  • Words of Life:  a teaching ministry of the Word of God.
Accomplishing these objectives will equip them to reach their full potential and become a positive influence to their families, community and in the Body of Christ. All of these efforts include a major focus on equipping and empowering the local people to take ownership of the issue and become a change agent within their community.
