“Pure and faultless religion is this, to look after vulnerable children and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” – James 1:27
With the support of generous donors, Set Free Ministries has constructed 15 Impact Sites since the summer of 2009. An Impact Site is multifaceted in its purposes, serving as a place of refuge for thousands of vulnerable children , as well as a place to sleep, eat, and receive a Christian education. Before there was loneliness, hunger, and a blanket under a bush. Now with the Impact Sites in place, children have community, purpose, full bellies, and a sense of hope for what the future holds. Stealing and prostitution will
no longer be the only options for income. The Impact Sites not only teach the basic education but go as far as to teach the children a specific trade, such as wood working or sewing, so that when their time at the center comes to an end they will have the ability and skill to get a job!
Approximately 5,000 vulnerable children are currently being cared for through the Impact Sites with over 100 requests from 100 different communities asking SFM for help. There are many lives left to touch!
All Impact Sites are run by leaders and teachers in the local community and are administered by our Set Free Ministries East Africa office. The goal is to help each site work towards its own financial self-sustainability.
