Our Goals:

* To establish at least three more care centers in the most needy communities in George during the year 2005, where the following can be addressed:

o Bring the Gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ to the children and adults and help them to develop a personal relationship with the Lord.
o Provide the children with a healthy meal at least 4 times a week. This provides for a preventive program for diseases such as kwashiorkor, which has a negative developmental affect, both mentally and physically. Many children are suffering from this and other diseases.
o To provide a regular life-skills training, moral training, love and care for children whose parents are the victims of AIDS and cannot care for childrePreSchooln.
o Through the Gospel address the alcohol problem in this region which is one of the highest per capita in the country.
o Provide children and the community with training in basic health and hygiene.
o Provide adults with basic cooking, hygiene, nutrition training, sexual life-style teaching, family structure teaching and, leadership development.
o AIDS and TB education for adults due to the high mortality rate among children.
o With the help of the community, determine needs of education and attract resources to address the problems.
o Train and facilitate services in teaching basic English and math, particularly to children.
o Work with the community in providing basic health and first aid to the children.
o To provide counseling where needed in traumatized situations or to refer persons to counselors. Many children and women are the victims of physical abuse and rape due to the unemployment and alcohol abuse in this area.
o To assist communities in establishing guidelines for discipline and taking responsibility for children as well as adults.
o To provide marriage and family counseling to the families that are devastated in these areas.
o To assist adults in skills-training, which in turn can lead to job creation.
o Assist and encourage children who have left school, to return to complete and further their level of education.
o To create a common storehouse to collect goods (food, clothing, furniture, etc.) that can be distributed to the needy in the community through churches and community organizations. This will create a storehouse where the needs represented in the communities, can be met in an ongoing fashion.
o To obtain a building near to the areas where ministry takes place for a kitchen.
o To obtain a place (safe harbor) where counseling can take place and where abused children can be safe.
o To have a “free” clinic for children who do not have access to medical care. This will bring AIDS and TB testing to the children who do not have access to medical facilities. Doctors and medical staff will donate their time and run this clinic. o To have an area where skills training can take place without moving of equipment etc.
o To have space to assist children and adults in “Bridging Education” where they have lacked in their education.
o To continue working on the “Children’s Village” concept in this area. A wonderful stretch of land has been identified for this purpose.

And finally to duplicate the “LIFE” Care Center’s concept in other parts of the country and the continent where the same dilemmas are being challenged.
