| A
WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT
This past year has
been an exciting year as we have experienced tremendous results
from our programs around the world.
We have continued to
expand our networking community of NGO’s and this has enhanced
our ability to have a greater impact with our limited resources.
By finding NGO’s with like vision and pooling our resources
together in project areas the synergy affect is tremendous and
we feel this is a major reason of our increased success. The
quality of projects and enhanced services has created greater
community support and involvement.
Our major sectors of
involvement are:
1) child survival
projects
2) providing education, clothing, food, and medical help to
preschool and school age children
3) health and nutritional training, community organization,
micro-enterprise and sustainable gardening
projects for parents of
deprived children
4) Christian education and evangelism outreaches
FMHC educational
programs directly affect an increase in literacy among
disadvantaged children, increased rate of school attendance, and
positive impact in behavioral responses. School feeding programs
increase attention span and comprehension levels. Evangelism
outreaches increase knowledge of God and His plan for their
lives.
FMHC recognizes the
importance of skills development, small-scale entrepreneurship,
and income generating programs, especially for women. It is
generally recognized that women are most likely to shoulder the
concerns for their family’s food security. This is especially
true in those countries ravaged by civil war, where women are
often the only surviving parent in the home.
The benefits of
FMHC’s services provide those necessities which are basic to
all human development, and are successful in reaching the
targeted beneficiaries by increasing the level of awareness on
primary health care, family relationships, community
participation, and by expanding the level of involvement for
recipients in the various interventions.
