DZALEKA REFUGEE CAMP
|
Part of our response is a gardening project which operates in partnership with Thrive for Good, a non-profit organization with a focus on training and equipping people to sustainably grow healthy organic food. Thrive for Good teaches a select group of church leaders and other community leaders in Dzaleka how to implement the Life Garden project. They learn how to farm small patches of land (as small as a living room), called Life Gardens. These patches require a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight and a minimal amount of water, and without the need for chemicals or fertilizers. The crops support the refugee gardeners and their families. This form of farming is sustainable, scalable, low-cost, low-complex, it increases access to nutritious food, and involves low-cost technology.

Through our partnership with There is Hope Malawi and HPIC (Health Partners International of Canada), we are able to send shipments of Humanitarian Medical Kits valued at $120,000 to the health clinic in the camp, which serves both refugees and the host community in a catchment area of over 80,000 people.

This sewing social enterprise which was launched in 2020 trains ten women from a refugee background every quarter, teaching them sewing skills, mentoring and discipling them at the same time. This social enterprise initiative includes a storefront to sell their products, increase the revenue and work towards making the enterprise self-sustainable.

PRAYER PILGRIMAGES |
In 2019, IAFR Canada and 24-7 Prayer Canada co-led a Prayer Pilgrimage to the southern border of Mexico. It was a week of listening, learning and praying into what God was doing among people who were making their way north with the hope of safety, and those who were opening their hearts to new friends.
