The Democratic Republic of the Congo needs hope
god gave us a secure hope & future through the work of the cross.
The people of the DR Congo are seeing what hope looks like through Future Hope Africa.
Based in the eastern city of Bukavu, we’re committed to helping students, families and entrepreneurs fulfill their hopes through education and opportunity. What does that look like?
Homework Class - Loving teachers walk from student to student, interacting one-on-one, when they normally sit in a classroom of 80 during school hours. After-school tutoring is empowering students to pass their rigorous exams and break the cycle of poverty.
Small Business - Focus Business School (FBS) is Bible -based entrepreneur training which educates and breaks the chains of generational poverty.
Community & Youth Services - Building faith and character through an annual Vacation Bible School and monthly youth and community groups.
Discipleship - Christ-centered mentoring in Prince and Princess small groups, applying the Word and tackling life issues in their faith, walk with trusted elders.
Grace Bible Study - Young people, including Grace Scholarship students, meet weekly to study the Bible and its message of grace.
Music Class - With no music in schools, a worship leader develops student skills in regular classes on donated and hand-made instruments.
Homework Class - Loving teachers walk from student to student, interacting one-on-one, when they normally sit in a classroom of 80 during school hours.
Literary Access - When schools have no books, students are sent to our librarian, or our mobile library trades out available titles biweekly.
Feeding Children - rafter-school “snack” is often the first meal of the day for our students. Snacks are lovingly prepared by a volunteer.
Father’s World Radio - Our interactive twice weekly airtime applies Scripture to overcoming daily life challenges in the million-strong African city of Bukavu
Microloans - Helping cash-strapped business people get on the path to self-sufficiency with micro-loans. Averaging less than $600, microlending helps people provide income, employment and family stability.
