Mission Anchors
We build trusting relationships.
We recruit mission sustaining development partners from the Global North.
We join with mission allies working in the Global South and collaborate to transform communities and tackle the greatest barriers to their sustainable futures: poverty, disease, illiteracy, and despair.
Our alliance to strengthen communities in Sierra Leone, one of the absolute poorest countries in the world, is a 25 year mission to support and join with leaders overseeing programs that provide vulnerable children and their families with opportunities for enriched and abundant life, providing access to education, health services, and means to secure financial, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. We continue to support the local leadership's progress toward securing country-based revenue streams. To the extent funding is available for the purpose, we underwrite a portion of our allies' local program costs where they are align with our goals and especially where focused on education, child protection, family stability, maternal health, infant survival, and childhood nutrition.*
We support collaborations that enable life-changing help for thousands of children and their families through program development partnerships, funding support alliances, policy development collaborations, service training and resource networks, and by providing local leadership the support and aid to build effective programs and program management systems, including financial underwriting, training, and technical advice through our international staff, and the assistance of long term and short term mission teams with subject matter expertise and connections to further build capacity.
Join us today to transform lives and communities!
*Our historic program allies in Sierra Leone include the Child Reintegration Centre (CRC), Mercy UMC Hospital, and the Mission Training Centre, Bo, Sierra Leone, three institutions which we were instrumental in co-founding with the United Methodist Church Sierra Leone Annual Conference. UMC-SLAC continues to own and operate those programs. Our primary direct funding of operational costs is for those institutions, however, we do fund other projects, programs, and allies in collaboration with a larger network of providers in Sierra Leone. In addition, we fund projects and collaborations in other countries, including the United States, and globally, as appropriate to meet our mission priorities for the year.
