African Projects
A snapshot of completed Projects and Social Justice Initiatives to date:
The construction of a community centre in Khulwanda, Kenya remains an ongoing focus for John Cairns Ministries. The building will be used throughout the week, not only by the churches and ministries that JCM works with in Kenya, but also for community activities such as child immunizations, mothercraft classes, medical care, life skills training, seminars and local government meetings. It will be a hub for church services and LNI gatherings in East Africa. Progress on the building continues and the official opening will take place mid-August 2024.
Microfinance programmes in Burundi and Kenya
Our Micro Finance programmes in Kenya and Burundi continue to support individuals in the development of their small businesses. We praise God for all who are able to training which enables them to become self-sufficient.
The micro-finance program JCM operates in Burundi helps provide finances to support training young people in practical skills to help them start businesses and find employment when they finish their schooling. The training ensures people have the skills to work instead of remaining dependent on charity to survive.
Water Pump
Project Completed early 2017. Being used on a daily basis by over 500 people
Due to an ongoing drought in Kenya the nation has been facing massive food shortages. Throughout 2023 JCM raised finances to send to leaders we work with who are working to provide food relief to all affected.
Storms and floods have caused devastation across Malawi and Mozambique, with the Democratic Republic of Congo also severely impacted. JCM works with many ministers throughout these nations and has sent funds to help with provisions at such a challenging time. The need is huge with homes, schools and crops destroyed. Ongoing relief is required so any and every contribution is welcomed.
Funds raised by JCM were recently used in Malawi by hundreds in the community who had been affected by a cyclone and subsequent floods which had wiped out their harvest. Seeds were purchased to replant and essential supplies were given to people in desperate need to be able to feed their families.
Through the generous support of JCM supporters, finances were given to provide medical aid to our LNI Facilitator in Ghana who needed urgent throat surgery.
Food and medical supplies were purchased for people in need, in Uganda, through the generous support of JCM supporters.
Finances raised were used to fund a LNI Conference in Nepal, plus provide financial aid to Indian families.
Praise God for the ability to help with training leaders for outreach and assisting in church planting in Liberia and Uganda.
