Hope Scholarship for Children in High School
|
|
Helping Overcome Poverty through Education(HOPE). To a poor child, education
is the door to escape from the cycle of poverty. This is why the African Good Samaritan
Mission has decided to provide support for poor African children in rural areas who are brilliant, but can’t pay their tuition
for high school, or buy books or uniform, because their parents can’t afford it.

Widows Program
|
In most African communities where the fathers are often the main traditional
breadwinners, widows remain helpless and hopeless with no means to sustain their
children if their husband die, especially if they are uneducated and have no
substantive way to support themselves and their children, as there is no
government social services. To respond to this situation and turn the widows’
hopelessness into hopefulness in Jesus Christ, our Program manager, Sike, who is
a highly educated widow herself, is the inspiration behind this project . She
wants to “disciple widows and the fatherless for Christ “. Through this Widows
program which is called the Fountain of Love Ministry, we will be looking into
both the spiritual and social welfare of the widows and their fatherless
children. We hope to offer them Godly counsel through Bible study and also
provide funds in form of Micro-financing for small business, in order to
alleviate the sufferings of the widows, and empower them to be productive, and
in turn be able to give back to society.

School Renovation Project

Our School Building Renovation Project started with the completion and renovation
of a 4-classroom block of an Elementary grade school at a rural community in the
western region of Nigeria. The Classroom block needed plastering, painting, and
additional school desks and chairs for students.

Most children in elementary schools in rural areas of Africa do not have the luxury of having a
school library or owning children’s book of their own. Our book drive is
one of our Mission’s on-going yearly project to collect both new and used
children’s books and post them to these rural area schools. The books that are donated will be
used in starting small school libraries for these children.
We are continuously sending donated books through using priority mail boxes for international postage through the postal services. Currently, there is no standard
international postage allowed for books, and so, using priority mail is the cheapest way of getting these books out to the rural elementary schools for the children.
To donate books or money for postage please see our Donation page for address, and you can also email us at
info@agsmission.org.
Initial donations of cash were made to two orphanages in Ibadan Nigeria help towards the purchase of buses to transport the children. In addition baby items , including food and medicines were also given. This was the initial seed that rooted the mission.
