why the church ?
The local church is the platform from which Orchard: Africa operates. The reasons are simple.
1
The Church is one of the most sustainable community-based organizations in the world, able to reach where many other established organizations cannot.
2
The mission of the Church is to protect and holistically care for the vulnerable.
3
The church is unique in its' ability to make impact across generations.
Church leaders throughout South Africa are front-line workers in vulnerable communities. Facing a myriad of needs, these leaders are often the most under- resourced. This is why Orchard: Africa exists. We equip, train and mentor church leaders, transforming them from Sunday preachers into effective, every-day community leaders. At Orchard: Africa, we are passionate about the Church, protecting the vulnerable and sustainable, holistic solutions.
