About this organization
Mission
Zoe Empowers is a Christian empowerment ministry for orphans and vulnerable children living in extreme poverty in Africa and India. After graduating from Zoe's three-year empowerment program, a child will have moved from extreme poverty to sustainable self-sufficiency; able to provide food, clothing, shelter, education, medical care, and social support for themselves and their siblings; know God's love, and have hope for the future in their own community.
About
Rwanda three year empowerment program - children from Rwanda start the program in desperate poverty and graduate in three years to support themselves and their siblings. The program has an 85-90% graduation rate per a University of Texas study. Those children who are not self-sufficient at the end of three years continue to be helped by other children in their group, but are no longer helped with Zoe funds. Rwanda's empowerment program served 10,122 children, with approximately 3,618 graduating from the program. The program had one program director and 11 social workers. The Rwanda government continues to provide land for farming as they recognize the great work of Zoe alleviating the orphan problem in their communities.
