About us
Currently, Hands on Africa serves the people in rural areas in Kenya, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia and South Africa. However with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and support of the community of faith, we desire to reach the "unreached" in other areas. In May 2011 we had our first official outreach in North America with a team from Africa.
Our Vision is that the last command of our Lord will be our first concern and in order to fulfil this vision we need to live Christ to those in need by providing in their basic needs such as taking care of orphans and widows, offer water supply, education and health care.
Current ministries include:
Bible Seminaries - In partnership with Jacksonville Baptist Theological Seminary we have established Theological seminaries and learning centres in Kenya, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Zambia, Uganda, Zwaziland and South Africa with over 1500 students and a waiting list of over 600 applicants.
Orphanages – Our mission is to feed, clothe, educate and meet the medical needs of the 196 orphans in our care in Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, South Africa and Sierra Leone.
Primary Schools – We have primary schools in Malawi and Zambia and we are raising funds to open a home school for all the children in our orphanage in Sierre Leone.
