“Grand staff ministries, inc funded and oversaw the operation of shepherd's care facility in eswatini, africa, including an orphanage with two care homes, a preschool for 4 and 5 year olds, and a church. A total of 23 girls lived in the shepherd's care homes, which covered their shelter, food, clothing, medical/dental needs & education. Two of the girls who struggled in the classroom transferred their classes to catering school and graduated in november. One girl who also struggled in the classroom launched a project to raise fryers (chickens); although she made no profit, it was a learning curve, which she'll take into her next project. The support system for the care homes includes house parents, office staff, a gardener, security guards, vehicle maintenance, & visits from the u.s. Founders to train and encourage. This amount includes travel for one trip to eswatini in 2024 to assist in the work that is sustained by native people.”

“Charity: the church on site provided community and support for up to 60 children on sundays, over 20 women, and a few men. This is crucially important in the village, since it's a 45 minute drive from town, and car ownership is nearly nonexistent. Under the guidance of an effective youth pastor, the church had a thriving youth group that grew in their faith and shared the gospel with their families and friends. They attended a special conference as a christmas celebration and gift to them. Eight women from the church continued to make and sell baskets at fair trade prices. These baskets were then resold at grand staff thrift boutique in buhler, ks. This income for the women is one of the rare job opportunities in this remote village. Gsm distributed food to hungry families and hygiene products to women and children. Funding for emergency healthcare was provided as needs became apparent. The two other formerly-sponsored young men were given financial assistance to help them thrive. Church supplies and tent repair weere also provided from these funds.”
