Living Word Ministries

Unverified non-profit organisation

The ten years of civil war left a lot of widows, orphans and ex-fighters who are suffering for their survival. As the organization tried to reach out a hand of assistance, the Ebola epidemic struck down and added more widows and orphans to the situation. Some of the youth who were ex-fighters are involved in violence, killing, occultism,drugs, prostitution, arm robbery and some engaged in hazardous work to survive. A lot of children are on the street in the market doing manual labor.

This Ministries reaches out to the Women to assist them into skill work to sustain them. They aim to meet the needs of the orphans and the abandoned children by giving them both physical and spiritual parenting and help them in their schooling. Efforts are also made to integrate the young into vocational skill training so that they can be self reliant, effectively lowering the high rate of crime, violence, occultism, drugs and prostitution.

This Ministries performs on a small scale due to low financial strength. They are also trying to bring safe drinking water to the mountainous communities who suffered a lot for water shortage. Their children go to far distance to fetch water and come back home late. In the process some of the girls are rapped and some got pregnant thus terminate their education.
