Partnering
for impact
Our Approach
We resource ministries across Africa and the Middle East. Each one is unique in its work, yet all share a vision to see the gospel reshape lives and communities in meaningful ways.
Beyond funding, we invest in the people behind the mission - strengthening leadership and organisational health and connecting ministries to networks and resources. Our joy is seeing organisations grow through partnership - becoming stronger, more mission-aligned, and equipped to thrive for years to come.
Our Strategy
Africa’s diversity and complexity call for a contextualised, regional approach. That’s why our grantmaking strategy is shaped by what we’ve seen and learned on the ground - blending local insights with a broader understanding of the continent.
The organisations we partner with are rooted in the Great Commission - grounded in biblical values, with a clear and active commitment to advancing God's Kingdom. They have a proven track record of meaningful impact, have been in operation for a minimum of two years, and demonstrate strong stewardship through sound governance, transparency and accountability.
These ministries are each investing in one or more of the following areas:
CHRIST-CENTRED
LEADERSHIP
Pastoral & theological training
Leadership formation (church & marketplace)
Fatherhood & women
NEXT
GENERATION
Youth discipleship
Campus evangelism & discipleship
Childhood spiritual formation
LEAST-REACHED
PEOPLES
Unreached people groups
Displaced people
Vulnerable people
