Mission Overview

"Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance..." - Proverbs 1:5

Our goal is simple and deeply rooted in faith: to share Christ’s love with the children and families of Kawete. Through the ongoing work of Christ Community International, we help support local education opportunities, medical care and preventive health services, and consistent spiritual community so that children and families can grow, learn, and develop their God-given potential.
