Breaking Poverty, Building Futures

Empowering Tanzanian Families for a Sustainable Tomorrow.

Hope That Restores. Change That Lasts.

Food for His Children is rooted in a Christ-centered vision of restored relationships and lasting transformation. We believe poverty is not only material — it is the result of four broken relationships: with God, self, others, and creation. That’s why our work goes far beyond goats or skills; it’s about discipleship, dignity, and walking with families as they discover who God created them to be.

Through Gospel-centered coaching, agriculture and business training, and community-led problem solving, families begin to heal what’s been broken and build a future of purpose, hope, and sustainability. When you give to Food for His Children, you become part of this restoration — partnering with families in rural Tanzania as they rise from poverty and transform their communities from the inside out.
Here’s how you can help:

Volunteer

We work in over 60 communities and 14 villages of the Karatu District of Tanzania, and need volunteers from across the globe. Find out how you can volunteer!

Empower a Family Today with a Donation

Most of the families supported by Food for His Children can be defined as ultra-poor, living on less than 70 cents a day. Their story is not one without hope. Your donation can help equip families to thrive. Give now and partner with Christ’s transforming power in their lives.

Invest in the Kingdom

Invest what God has entrusted to you through lasting gifts. From monthly giving, family partnerships, stocks and real estate to donor-advised funds, IRAs, crypto, and legacy giving, you are sowing seeds that will bear fruit for generations. Invest in the Kingdom!!

Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

1 John 3:18 (NLT)

Our Programs & Initiatives

Farm & Innovation Center

The Farm & Innovation Center (FIC) is a Christ-centered training hub where farmers, students, entrepreneurs, and tourists learn, explore, and experience transformation. Families receive hands-on training in sustainable agriculture, dairy goat care, agribusiness, and entrepreneurship, while visitors enjoy farm tours, baby-goat experiences, artisan shopping, and farm-fresh foods.

Located just 25 minutes from the Ngorongoro Crater, the FIC welcomes thousands of safari travelers each year—generating vital income through tourism, goat-milk products, artisan crafts, and safari picnic baskets. This revenue helps sustain the FIC and supports Food for His Children’s programs throughout rural Tanzania.

The Food for His Children Model

Our Christ-centered model restores dignity and breaks the cycle of extreme poverty by healing the four broken relationships—with God, self, others, and creation. Through coaching, discipleship, dairy goat programs, agriculture and business training, families discover their God-given strengths, solve problems from within their community, and build sustainable futures. Transformation begins with restored relationships—and spreads as families help others do the same.

Hearts Across Homes Partnership Program

Hearts Across Homes builds real, Christ-centered relationships between families and children in Tanzania and partners around the world. Through letters, videos, prayer, and shared encouragement, partners walk alongside one another as God restores hope, dignity, and opportunity. Your monthly partnership strengthens families through discipleship, case management, and holistic support while creating a meaningful, mutual relationship rooted in faith, love, and the belief that no one should walk through poverty alone.

Combat malnutrition in Tanzanian children through family-centered support and farming.

For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.

Matthew 25: 35-36 (NIV)
