ETCH (Education, Training, Child Advocacy and Health Care) for Africa

(formerly Mashiah Foundation)

ETCH is a Christian organization established 25 years ago as a response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Nigeria which was disproportionally affecting widows and orphans. The organization has expanded to provide care for vulnerable children, widows, and other disadvantaged people. Donations support the organization's work for spiritual, economic, and social development based on Matthew 25:34-46, including hospital and medical care, residential housing, youth training and better sanitary health practices.

Jubilee Centre Zambia

Jubilee Centre supports churches in rural Zambia to bring food security, education, and clean water to their communities. Donations support innovative solutions. Offering Bible school training educates rural pastors who cannot attend traditional theology schools. Training farmers in integrated, organic, sustainable farming techniques builds local food security. Mentoring young farmers creates job opportunities for young people facing high unemployment. Improving access to clean water reduces waterborne diseases and provides reliable, safe drinking water.

Path from Poverty

Path From Poverty (PFP) works to transform lives and communities by partnering with women’s groups, empowering and equipping women to break the cycle of poverty and live into the God-given potential. Donations support the purchase of rainwater catchment water tanks that open the doors for women to pursue economic opportunities to support their children, families, and community. Over the past 25 years, PFP’s work in the Ukambani region of Kenya has provided water to improve the lives of over 25,000 Kenyans.

Wheelchairs for Nigeria

Nigeria has more polio than any other country in the world. There are uncounted tens of thousands of polio survivors who spend their lives crawling on the ground. Pastor Ron Rice and his Nigerian partner Ayuba Gufwan, a polio survivor himself, have a shop in Jos, Nigeria with 60 employees where they build hand-pedaled tricycles for $150. 

Through the generous support of West Side folks and others, they were able to build and donate 3800 tricycle/wheelchairs in 2024. Since this ministry began over 20 years ago, they have given out 37,000 wheelchairs, transforming the lives of polio survivors. This is far more than anyone else in this huge country of 217 million is doing for polio survivors, yet it is only scratching the surface of the enormous need.

World Concern

World Concern is an international Christian relief and development organization to serve people in extreme need with an extreme calling to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

The thirsty drink clean water, the hungry have food, children learn, the enslaved are free, and the hopeless find peace with God.
