Economic empowerment: eden mission offers these couples an eighteen month vocational training beginning with a skill development program. In a culture of low economic opportunities and high poverty levels many family members are not able to pursue education thus limiting their employment opportunities. Eden mission trains participants in the following vocational areas: carpentry small scale farming and animal husbandry tailoring and vehicle mechanics. These apprenticeships have impacted the income level of many of the families that have completed the program. This includes a sacco loan program to groups who have completed our program and developed registed savings groups in their countries. We loan funds at a lower interest rate for 3 years and if they pay as agreed they can extend for another 3 years.

Health and nutrition: eden mission focuses on two areas of community health and nutrition; childrens nutrition and the health of pregnant mothers throughtout their term. Geographically eden mission serves in areas that government reports indicate have the highest levels of malnutrition among children and also the highest fertility rates among women. Our sponsored clinics were visited by 5,179 pregenant women in 2021. Each mother received a maternity kit and a visit with a healthcare worker.
