||MONTHLY ROUNDUP||

This mission Monday we celebrate the incredible work happening across Southern Africa, in Tanzania, Malawi, and Zambia. Though geographically connected, each country is uniquely addressing Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) affecting their communities:
Malawi – Hookworms, Schistosomiasis, Ascariasis, Bilharzia
Tanzania – Ascariasis, Schistosomiasis, Hookworms, Jiggers
Zambia – Ascariasis, Ringworms, Scabies
Each nation faces different challenges, yet shares one common mission: restoring dignity, health, and hope through:
✔️ Health education
✔️ Gospel outreach
✔️ Community healthcare initiatives
✔️ Sports engagement programs
Lives are being transformed.
We are deeply grateful to our partners serving faithfully in these communities. Thank you for your sacrifice, consistency, and love for the people you serve.
Together, we are not just treating diseases, we are building stronger, healthier communities. Join us in praying for continued impact across Southern Africa.

When words fail, prayer speaks. We may all be familiar with prayer, but learning how to pray with faith, trust, and understanding is a journey that never ends. Each day is another opportunity to grow closer to God.

It's Humility isn’t weakness, it’s the starting point of true impact. As our partners walk alongside communities, they remind us that lasting change begins when we put others first.

What happens when faith meets football?
A community gathers. Healing begins. Knowledge is shared. And God’s love makes a way.
Through Ben and his team’s outreach in Malawi, 863 people were impacted through treatment, education, and training on and off the field.

In Rutete community in Uganda, the place Aloys Mukasa calls home, health challenges linked to neglected tropical diseases have quietly shaped everyday life for many families. Conditions such as ascariasis and jiggers have affected children and adults alike, often limiting mobility, learning, and productivity, while access to health education and consistent care remained limited.

In response, a focused outreach was carried out to address both treatment and long-term prevention. Community members participated in training sessions on neglected tropical diseases, equipping them with knowledge to better understand causes, symptoms, and prevention. Treatment for ascariasis was provided, and follow-up visits were conducted for individuals previously treated for jiggers and ascariasis, ensuring healing was progressing and reinforcing healthy practices.

The impact reached beyond medical intervention. With improved health, renewed awareness, and continued follow-up, the Rutete community is better positioned to protect itself against preventable diseases. This work reflects the power of combining care, education, and commitment helping communities move from vulnerability toward lasting wellbeing.

Jackson Tabuley was walking alongside children in the Maasai community of Arusha in , especially those living with worm diseases and special needs. Many of these children were facing daily struggles with poor health and limited care, making it difficult for them to grow, learn, and enjoy childhood fully.

Through ongoing community outreach, medical support, encouragement, and simple acts of love such as sharing meals and small gifts, the children were being reached and supported in meaningful ways. The willingness of the community to stand together was playing a vital role in making this work possible.

Change was already taking place; children were growing healthier, smiles were becoming brighter, confidence was rising, and local leaders were recognizing the positive transformation happening in the community. Through it all, God was giving courage and nurturing a love that unites people, turning compassion into lasting impact.

Children and young people are not only the future of our communities, they are also among the most vulnerable. Many face spiritual, emotional, social, and health related challenges at an early age, often without the guidance and care they need to thrive. This reality has shaped our commitment to invest intentionally in the lives of the younger generation through holistic outreach.

Through school outreach programs, Marc and his team have found a powerful and effective way to reach children where transformation can begin early. Schools serve as strategic entry points not only for spiritual engagement, but also for addressing critical health needs that directly affect learning, dignity, and wellbeing.
Before these interventions, many students were affected by preventable conditions such as ascariasis and jiggers, illnesses that cause discomfort, stigma, absenteeism, and long-term health complications. Limited access to treatment and health education left many children vulnerable and unable to fully participate in school and community life.

Through integrated medical outreach, the team provided treatment, education on prevention, and practical hygiene guidance alongside Gospel-centered mentorship. This combined approach addressed both immediate health needs and long-term behavioral change, empowering students with knowledge and care.
The transformation has been tangible. Children who once struggled with pain and isolation are now healthier, more confident, and able to engage fully in school. At the same time, many are experiencing renewed hope, spiritual growth, and a deeper understanding of their value and purpose.

Together with Emmanuel Hategekimana, Jean Damascene Kabundi, and Response Nshutiyimana, this mission continues to grow. With the support and partnership of SMM, there is a shared vision to expand access through school tournaments and mass gatherings creating spaces where healing, prevention, and the Gospel reach many hearts at once.

As we step into the New Year, we give thanks for lives healed, dignity restored, and seeds of transformation planted.
