Impacting the lives of those from impoverished backgrounds is my greatest desire as I connect voluntary tech experts in key areas such as Microsoft Office Suite, Video Editing, Web Development to reduce poverty and improve quality education.
Empower an orphan child. Create a better world. Reduce poverty.
Our mission is to establish computer labs in poor communities with priority given to orphanage homes where our experts and volunteers can reach, train, and empower the masses.
The Good Shepherd Home is located in an extremely poor area of Africa. Food is expensive and scarce. The Home has a small farm where the children work hard to plant, tend, and harvest vegetables. In addition, chicken, pig and rabbit farms provide highly prized meat for their diet, as well as income to help sustain the Home. However, staples such as rice, grain, flour, beans, salt, fish, and fruit must be purchased.
Providing ample nutritious food for over one hundred and fifty children and their caregivers is a daunting, daily challenge. Food for Life makes it possible by providing a monthly food allowance to The Good Shepherd Home.
Dr. Akwa Gilbert is a medical doctor and is passionate about the poor and the needy. His story is a beautiful one because he started from below and has accomplished many things. “Everything I have accomplished so far is thanks to my mother of blessed Memory Rev. Sr. Jane Mankaa, a woman who dedicated her life to serving orphans and vulnerable children through education, Health, and agriculture. She taught me (Dr. Gilbert) to have a vision and dream to reach out to the poor and needy, particularly to orphans and vulnerable children.
​
Mother Jane never failed to remind me constantly that I was picked from the street and constantly encouraged me to take care of the poor and needy in my later life. I am eternally grateful to mother Jane who has taken up this legacy and I have decided to continue in her footsteps”.
