In our experience it is difficult to do these things without the risk of harming the empowerment relationship which makes the program so effective in moving children beyond charity.

All orphans and vulnerable children are able to qualify for the program regardless of their beliefs. The empowerment model does not coerce children into saying they believe in certain way to fully participate in the program. However, Zoe Empowers is a Christian organization and we do not leave our faith behind us as we help children to help themselves. The children in our program both see and hear the Christian message of God’s great love for them. This message is always an invitation and never a requirement for being a full and respected member of the group. As in every other aspect of the program, the young people are encouraged to make decisions for themselves. This is also why the program is so effective in children learning about God’s love. Because the young people make their own decisions, they also take responsibility to speak with one another, and with other members of the community about the Gospel. Groups often incorporate prayer, worship and faith sharing in wonderful, non-exclusive ways.

The cost of $8,500 represents a true cost of the program. This cost is averaged out between country programs taking into account local differences in prices and exchange rates. Zoe Empowers is careful to control overhead, but does invest in overhead expenses such as audits and reports which ensure money given is being used effectively and efficiently. Please see our 990 to have a look at the effectiveness with which we steward your funds on behalf of the children.[/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How often will I hear about my group?” open_toggle_text_color=”#052133″ open_toggle_background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” closed_toggle_text_color=”#052133″ closed_toggle_background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” icon_color=”#b8ccd9″ _builder_version=”3.12″ title_font=”||||||||” title_font_size=”21px” title_line_height=”1.2em” body_font=”||||||||” body_text_color=”#666b6d” custom_margin=”-10px|||” custom_css_main_element=”border: solid 2px #b8ccd9″]A couple months after your group begins (to allow for screening) you will receive a name list and group photo. You will also receive both general and group specific reports about your group. After graduation you will receive a graduation report. If you are able to travel to meet and encourage your group, this will also provide a powerful connection. Reports and when possible, personal visits help individuals and churches feel connected and experience the power of what your investment is doing in the lives of children.

When you do so, we have ideas on our resources pages, of things you can bring and/or give to encourage your group. These must be items of no monetary value to preserve the empowerment program, and maintain equity between groups. We avoid gifts of monetary value and sending letters directly to the groups. In our experience it is difficult to do these things without the risk of harming the empowerment relationship which makes the program so effective in moving children beyond charity.

We do all we can to make sure every group partner has an opportunity to travel, and it is a great encouragement to your group for them to see you, thank you, and worship with you. You can also be a powerful voice telling others in your community what is being accomplished. You are welcome to visit the children in any year of the program, including post-graduation.

All orphans and vulnerable children are able to qualify for the program regardless of their beliefs. The empowerment model does not coerce children into saying they believe in certain way to fully participate in the program. However, Zoe Empowers is a Christian organization and we do not leave our faith behind us as we help children to help themselves. The children in our program both see and hear the Christian message of God’s great love for them. This message is always an invitation and never a requirement for being a full and respected member of the group. As in every other aspect of the program, the young people are encouraged to make decisions for themselves. This is also why the program is so effective in children learning about God’s love. Because the young people make their own decisions, they also take responsibility to speak with one another, and with other members of the community about the Gospel. Groups often incorporate prayer, worship and faith sharing in wonderful, non-exclusive ways.

So that you may journey with your group as they complete the three year empowerment program we provide a series of reports and updates. The first report is the name list and group picture of your children sent about four months after the groups begin meeting. After the first and second years, you will receive a case study report that examines the challenges and achievements of a child-led household from the group partnered with you. Since so much happens quickly, the first case study will include a summary of what the entire group has achieved. We will also provide biannual, country-specific updates so that you can learn more about what your children have been experiencing as they work through the Zoe empowerment model. After graduation, you will receive a comprehensive report on all that has been achieved because of your investment in these young lives. Click here to view our Sample Reports.
