– Monthly donations provide lasting solutions by offering continuous support to an individual, family or village –
PHOENIX, June 1, 2024 – Supporting Care for Life’s mission of alleviating suffering, promoting self-reliance and instilling hope just got easier with a new program called Become an Advocate which is designed to provide continuous support to individuals, families and villages in Mozambique through monthly donations.
“Monthly donations are the lifeblood of our organization, providing a reliable source of funding to execute our program effectively,” said Becky Shiew, president of Care for Life. “Monthly donations provide lasting solutions by offering continuous support to individuals, families and entire villages to help them become self-sufficient.”
Monthly donations through the Become an Advocate program provide a number of benefits, including:
● Provide villagers with a personalized local mentor.
● Support continuous educational classes.
● Teach families goal-setting techniques.
● Offer children a safe environment to learn life skills.
● Assist with leadership training for local leaders.
Donors that sign up for monthly donations will be considered “Advocates.” There are four different plans Advocates can contribute to. For $10 a month advocates can support an individual, $45 a month enables advocates to support a family and $100 a month will support an
entire village for a month. Additionally, advocates can pick a custom amount.
Care for Life teaches villagers in Mozambique the skills needed to make communities stronger, alleviate suffering and promote self-reliance. Its Family Preservation Program (FPP) was designed to create self-reliant families among the poorest areas of the world by focusing on eight key areas, including Literacy & Education, Food Security, Income Generation, Psychosocial, Home Improvement, Health & Sanitation, Children & Elderly and Community
Development.
For example, in November 2023, 37 year-old Elisabete Antonio came to Care for Life in financial and emotional despair after her husband Cesarito Vasco passed away unexpectedly. She was left with very little money and six young children between the ages of 21 and 5.
Elisabete participated in Care for Life’s literacy classes, children’s welfare classes, vegetable production and financial literacy, including classes on establishing credit and managing finances. As she acquired the ability to read, she advanced to other classes, specifically a sewing course where she learned to sew and make clothes for her and her family. Elisabete had always gardened and through Care for Life, she learned how to grow vegetables on a larger scale. She now owns businesses selling fresh vegetables from her garden and selling clothes she sews.
“We’re excited and know that thanks to Care for Life, we now have a bright future ahead of us,” said Elisabete. “We are filled with joy and appreciation for the advice and guidance of the Care for Life team.”
