Ngoswak Well Project

This year our goal is to drill two wells in the Longido area. The total cost for this project will be $60,000 and we believe we can raise this money in time to help alleviate the drought. To date $19,000 has been raised toward drilling the first well so we need to raise $6,000 more in the next few weeks. Another $5,000 will be needed to put in a pump and to have an electric pump put in and to secure a water storage tank.

Our Mission

Social Development

The first aspect of our mission is social: FAD was founded on the premise that we must do something about the incredible needs that the poor in Africa face. Whether in the throbbing metropolis or in the secluded rural village, the poor face immense challenges, most often at the basic life-necessity level. We are committed to projects that help meet those basic necessities, like water, food, and education. Simple needs require a simple response.
Spiritual Development

As a Christian non-profit, we believe that the spiritual needs equal the social needs. We are committed to sharing our spiritual resources with those in Africa who have not been as fortunate to have heard about the spiritual source of nourishment. Therefore, in every project, FAD is committed to giving the message of Jesus Christ along with social aid. Our identity is localized around giving social and spiritual aid in tandem.

Testimonials

…the community is very happy for what our God has done, after our prayer of years and years without water. But from FAD members contributions they (the community) are now going to get enough water for their school and communityat large. Pass our greeting to all our friends there and tell them that Jesus loves all people.
