Burundi is considered the poorest country in the world by several GDP indices. Life is not easy in this central African country, where electricity and clean water are scarce. Digging a well on the local church property provides an immediate solution for clean water. It also allows the local church to share the good news about Jesus and invite people to enter into a relationship with Him.

With your generous giving, we will be able to partner with two existing healthy churches to help them dig a well that will serve the clean water needs of the surrounding community

1040i is a nonprofit dedicated to improving lives in impoverished West African communities by providing clean drinking water, healthcare, and education.

“Over the past 15 years, our vehicle fleet has become exhausted, unreliable and even dangerous; leaving us stranded in very remote areas. Therefore, our project focus this year is to replace our transportation fleet. The support from VFC is more than just funding; it’s a lifeline for 1040i to continue reaching one of the most isolated regions of Cote d’Ivoire. With these new trucks, 1040i can safely and effectively mobilize their team, deliver critical medical care and share God’s love where it’s needed most.”

The Reeves Initiative is focused on empowering foster families, supporting adoption processes, and enhancing opportunities for foster youth. By providing financial aid for adoption expenses, foster home essentials, and church program participation, the initiative removes financial obstacles that foster families often face. The organization’s goal is to strengthen family bonds, create stable environments, and open doors for foster youth to engage in positive, faith-based activities. Through these efforts, they create nurturing spaces for growth and development, helping children thrive.

As of this coming year, the Reaves Initiative plans to help 10 families upgrade of their vehicles to accommodate fostering and adoption. They plan to help 20 more churches start a foster care system, and are working with organizations such as AGFCN and Commission 127. Their 10 year goal is to see 500 families open their homes to foster care or adoption in some capacity.
