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!

Can You Hear the Drums?

In Africa, drums have been used for centuries to send messages from one village to another to spread news whether it was to announce a birth, invite others to a celebration, or warn of danger. This year we invite you to hear the drums as they share how the lives of widows and orphans are being changed. Our goal is to raise at least $30,000 so we can continue helping the orphans and widows.

​We are highlighting several projects including constructing a kitchen in order to daily feed nutritious meals orphans and vulnerable children at our school, teaching vocational skills to our older orphans, and empowering our widows, HIV+ women/mothers, and the elderly grandmothers caring for their orphaned grandchildren. However, our outreaches don't stop there -- we are involved in preschools for orphans, micro-enterprises and animal husbandry. This includes our goats in the "kids for kids" which pays forward the sustainability.
