YFT - CURRENT PARTNERS:
YouFeedThem
appreciates the partnerships that have been developed to
support the current villages with the YFT projects and
goals:
The support
of Trinity
Bible Church of Ottawa (TBCO)
for the small
groups
that educate and equip members to serve,
for embracing and supporting the startup
mission of YouFeedThem, and to the entire
congregation for their continual
contributions
of both
time and donations, and support of the awareness
events held
on site. As a Ministry of TBCO, donations
are made to, receipts issued by, and administration
for YFT is
carried out by TBCO. This allows YFT to keep
the administrative costs as low as possible,
so that the donations made are spent on the
projects, not on administration.
Ambassador
Ministries in Covenant (AMIC) has
partnered with the village of Yogo, Kenya in
support of many
programs such as School Expansion, Women's
Empowerment Program, Health Clinic, and Orphanage
for the abused. In
addition, AMIC has set up a sponsorship program
for the school children. Monthly donations
provides the
child with their school fees, and 2 meals a
day at the school. For
more information on sponsorship, please call
Nancy Romme at 613-443-5547 or e-mail her at nancy_romme@hotmail.ca.

equiping and
