Food For His Children Rescuing Tanzanian children from extreme poverty so they can become all God created them to be.

Since 2008, Food for His Children (FFHC) has provided Christ centered community development and humanitarian services to families and communities in rural Karatu, Tanzania, targeting those with income below $1 per day. Our vision is to eradicate extreme poverty so that children and families have food to eat, medical care, education and the ability to work towards their dreams and that families and communities can become all God created them to be. We desire to see families and communities able to sustain themselves without relying on outside resources. We do this by providing a micro loan of a dairy goat, pastoral care, faith-based training in entrepreneurship, animal husbandry, agriculture, health, environment, leadership, and savings; one on one case management and coaching, goal planning, and veterinary care services. Food for His Children works in over 40 sub villages in Karatu District serving almost 400 families. Through this ministry, individuals and entire communities are transformed.

“Jesus would never turn away and say, ‘I’m sorry I can’t help you. Your needs are too great.’”

That belief is at the heart of Food For His Children. In this episode of Hosanna Church - Minnesota Beyond Sunday, our founder Kerrie Holschbach shares how God led her to faith, healed her heart, and grew a ministry in Tanzania, one step of trust at a time.

They wanted a selfie…who are we to say no?!

Say “mbuzi!” (it’s Swahili for goat, now you know)

A big thank you to ECHO East Africa Impact Center

Recently a few of our families spent the day learning about ecological farming, seed saving, and practical skills to help their crops thrive. As our friend Betina shared, they’ll return home ready to put everything they learned into practice and share it with their neighbors.

Watch the video to hear more, and to everyone who helped make this trip possible: we’re so grateful!

Joseph is a man on a mission! After a few visits from our case manager, Ayub, the Qwaa family decided to build a new latrine, and Joseph picked up his tools and got to work. He's already dug the pit, and now he's on to making the bricks! His goal... to finish by the end of the year, giving his wife Dorothea and their four kids a safer, healthier home.

Let's cheer him on! Drop a 💪 in the comments for Joseph.

One goat. Then two. Then a few more…and before you know it, there’s a whole herd!

Every new kid adds something to a family in Karatu. More milk for the table. More income from the market. More to build on next year.

That's how one goat becomes many.

What would you name your new dairy goat? Tell us in the comments! And if you know someone who'd love this (or just loves goats), share it with them!

One goat. One family. A whole new start.

Just look at these smiles! Kids love helping care for their family's goat.

And that family goat means fresh milk for the kids, extra to sell for income, and fertilizer for the garden.

$250 puts a dairy goat with a family who's ready for a fresh start. Give one today at goatgiftcatalog.org

Do you remember our little goat friend at the Farm and Innovation Center named James? Back in July we shared his rough start, and we have an update! Take a look at our video... James is back on his hooves and growing fast!

James would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support. God is so good!

According to Christian, up next for our friend James: becoming a husband and father! We told you he was going to do big things!
