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!

Help Ensure a Bountiful Harvest for the
Hope for Tomorrow Trust ! 

This trust serves the older orphan young men who age out of the government orphanage. Having started with a soccer team, this trust helps provides scholarships, vocational skills training, and spiritual discipleship to these young men to ensure they have viable vocational skills and life skills.
We now need to complete this project! While this trust owns 5 hectares which includes 2 greenhouses, 100 chickens, a solar well (that provides fresh water for the community, we still have more to do. Due to a terrible windstorm, the greenhouses have sustained severe damage. We need to upgrade the material we use in our greenhouses (fiberglass roofing sheets and heavy duty netting instead of plastic) plus one more greenhouse is needed in order to make this fully self-sustainable. So far, 50 young men have been helped due to the proceeds from the farm, but we have many more waiting (20 right this minute are on a waitlist!).  

$15,000 is needed to complete this project. Will you partner with us?
