Group and community activities, family support, advocacy and the provision of appropriate equipment all add to quality of life. Our partner Lanternlight Ministry provides practical assistance along with the opportunity to hear the Gospel in a way that is meaningful and transformative among the community.
The Lanternlight team work tirelessly to see those with a disability, and their families, have an improved quality of life through equal opportunities within and outside their communities.
Through this work we seek to partner with churches to see the Christian community develop their privilege and responsibility towards supporting those in need.
Funds cover the costs of running disability group activities in rural areas, specialised equipment to improve quality of life and meet the needs of the team.
It is our desire to see each person living with a disability develop as an individual, learn new skills and move towards their potential for interdependent and independent living. The love of Jesus in action!
