There is great reward when we embrace others in need and equip them with skills (not handouts) so that dignity and sustainability can be passed on to others!
Without an investment there can be no return. From prayer to a variety of caring actions, the door to make a difference is open for you, your family, and your friends.
I will crush poverty with HOPE!
Your network is a powerful tool! Explore the incredible difference you can make when you advance the cause through your office, church, small group, VBS, school, clubs, business, alumni networks, family, the web, social media, and more.

Many months passed, and without any income the children were evicted from their small home. Finding a meal each day became their greatest challenge. Without money for school fees, the children were unable to continue their schooling.
Hope was restored because of friends like you who support what God is doing through ELI. Riziki’s mother was able to enroll in a sewing/tailoring class that ELI was offering to suffering mothers. After she completed the two-month course, the ELI Congolese staff took up an offering from their own pockets to help her get started. That generous gift of $50 launched her into a business that today is providing her family with food, rent, and even school fees for all of the children! Riziki passionately shared, "We thank God for the good heart that ELI has that let us study even when we couldn’t pay. ELI supported all my family with scholastic materials (bags, books, notebooks, uniforms, pens, and pencils). They showed us love; they visited my dad regularly and prayed for him. Thank you so much. Without you, we couldn’t accomplish much. You are such a great blessing in our lives."
Riziki is now thriving in the sixth grade and is continually one of the top in her class.
She is so grateful for the life skills her mother gained because of your support, and she is hopeful that many more parents will be trained with skills so they can take care of their families as well.
Riziki is one of over 600 children at the ELI Academy in the DR Congo who now has hope and a brighter future. Along with her mother and siblings, Riziki is influencing others and bringing light and hope to their dark world. Thank you for all you’ve done to make Riziki’s story—and so many others’—possible.
