Fingerprints Across Africa

​Due to poverty, lack of education, no job skills, and prevalence of diseases including tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, the widows and orphans in Africa are often very vulnerable to abuse, neglect, malnutrition, trafficking, and for girls as young as age 9 being sold as child brides.  Fingerprints Across Africa is committed to partnering with local initiatives and churches in holistically meeting these needs by providing the needed training, skills development, and education along with spiritual care for widows and orphans to develop self-sustainable micro-enterprises in which they can provide hope and a future for themselves. 
​Sustainable initiatives include drop in day care centers for orphaned preschoolers, skills training for teen orphans and widows, and orphan family homes for high risk vulnerable orphans.  Furthermore, we provide empowerment  training in micro-enterprises and using the Village Savings and Loan concepts.  Check out the Projects page for more information, and join us in making a lasting impression on the lives we touch!

Current Urgent Need: Cyclone Idai Bucket Challenge

On March 15, 2019, Cyclone Idai and an earthquake hit Chimanimani, the mountainous area in eastern Zimbabwe, and this superstorm was the most devastating storm to hit southern Africa in history. It has resulted in floods, thousands of avalanches, & mudslides which killed hundreds of people (over 1000 in 3 countries), washed away whole villages, and has displaced 16,000 families in Zimbabwe. All clean water sources have been contaminated so there is a desperate need for clean water. Will you help us? Convoy of Hope is donating 500 Sawyer filters which will filter out cholera, typhoid, and other water borne diseases for up to 10 years. However, we need buckets to attach to these filters. 
$10 purchases a bucket here. Please help us raise funds for 500 buckets so we can help those families at most risk! We need these in the next 3 weeks.

THANK YOU FOR MEETING THIS CHALLENGE! ALL BUCKETS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED                               AND DELIVERED. UPDATE WILL BE COMING SOON!
