Africa New Life Ministries (ANLM) exists to transform lives and communities through the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ and through acts of compassion in His name. Our goal is to help children and families in Rwanda break through the cycle of poverty and to share with them the hope and freedom found in Christ. At the heart of our model for transformation is educational sponsorship, yet we recognize that children also need healthy bodies, growing faith, and developing communities to be able to make the most of an education and to thrive. Since 2001, Africa New Life has helped young people attain access to education through sponsorship. What began with 29 children has now grown to more than 10,000 students, from preschoolers to post-secondary (university) students, receiving education through sponsorship. In addition, Africa New Life plants churches, trains pastors at the Africa College of Theology in Kigali, and offers economic empowerment opportunities to women.
