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!

#GivingTuesday - Tuesday, December 3

We still need to raise a minimum of $5000 towards building the transitional home for these young men. When they age out of their orphanage, they start living on the streets. They have no hope for a job as the have no job skills. Through the greenhouse project, we are raising funds to scholarship them in vocational training, but they still need a safe place to live. Between now and #GivingTuesday, December 3, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, will you join us in making this a reality? We need to purchase property for transitional housing and to develop more greenhouses to make it self-sustainable. We are asking 50 ambassadors to each raise $100. How can you be an ambassador?

• The ambassador gives $10 and then find 9 others (friends, family, co-workers, etc.) to also give $10 . 
• Donate through our GoFundMe account.
• Post an #Unselfie on your social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) about this cause and ask others to join your team. Please use #GivingTuesday and one of the following: #FingerprintsAcrossAfrica, #TouchingLives, or #BuildingFutures. 
• Explain why you are raising support for this important cause and your goal amount to raise.
• ​Will you join our team today? Thank you for your help!
