Dear Friends,
Words seem to fall short in expressing how grateful we are for you. As we look back on 2017, we are truly inspired by what you have done to make this important work possible.
Through your prayers and financial support, you have helped to expand the Zoe Empowers programs around the world – making last year our best year to date. In 2017, a total of 38,296 orphans and vulnerable children were impacted through the Zoe Empowers model in seven countries around the world — bringing the total number of young people served to 73,832 since 2007.
And, as of the end of last year, more than 40,000 have graduated from ZOE’s three-year program. These young people are living with an understanding of God’s love for them, and they have moved beyond charity to self-reliance.
As we move into 2018, we look forward to investing in the lives of thousands of more orphans and vulnerable children who are currently living in extreme poverty and isolation. With a great year behind us, we believe this year is going to be even better as we join our hearts together to share God’s love and with world’s most vulnerable children.
Together, we are ZOE.
