Through the development of small business enterprise, Peace Gospel International is empowering sustainable, native-led, mercy-based programs in Asia & Africa: caring for orphans, child trafficking victims, at-risk women and destitute children of the slums. Our work began in India 19 years ago. Today we’re working in several of the world’s poorest nations in Asia and Africa. Read more about us, meet the children, or read our latest news.
Uganda: boys at our rural primary school have a lot to smile about: healthy meals from our farmland’s produce, clean water, a good education and loving teachers.
Our faithful native team in Uganda operates two schools reaching over 300 children. In the remote region of southeastern Uganda near the Kenya border, our rural primary school reaches over 200 children who would otherwise have no access to education. Led by our dedicated headmaster Mr. Moses and a loving staff of caring teachers very dedicated to these students, the school is providing much promise and hope.
Girls whose mothers benefit from our crafts business program are thankful for access to a good education, nutrition and healthcare their mothers’ earnings afford them.
Almost two years after launching our craft-making business empowerment program in the Philippines, we continue to see great progress and success among the women enrolled. We originally trained 25 widows and single mothers in various weaving skills. Of the original group, 19 have remained in the program and are seeing significant income generation, and a handful of new trainees are quickly seeing success as well.
Nepal: orphan boys rescued from child labor and malnutrition are now enjoying their new lives, full of hope at our orphanage home.
Recently two more orphans were brought into our orphanage home in Nepal. Orphan children in Nepal are some of the most at-risk children on the planet, with the human trafficking crisis striking deep into the heart of this nation that is considered the poorest in all of Asia. Over 30% of Nepalese live on less than $12 per month. Through the deceptive practices of human traffickers, over 12,000 Nepalese children are taken each year as slaves to other countries such as India, where they end up as child labor victims and child prostitutes.
