Thanks to the faithful prayer and generous giving from our supporters, Anglican Aid has seen the establishment and fulfilment of projects in some of the neediest regions of our world. By the grace of God, projects across humanitarian aid, education, health, and WASH have blessed many, and continue to bear fruit as local partner organisations and community leaders remain active in serving them.

We are excited to be able to share just some of the many encouraging stories with you!

Looking for projects closed in…

DR CONGO: Emergency assistance for victims of war

(2025)

When rebels overtook the cities of Bukavu and Goma in February 2025, Anglican Aid’s partners provided emergency assistance for thousands of displaced families who were in desperate need. 

Judith’s (pictured) family fled their village, seeking safety in Bukavu. In July last year, her husband was caught by rebels and enlisted to join their cause, against his will. Soon after, Judith gave birth to a son. With six children already, her family was suffering with hunger.  

With support from Anglican Aid, the Anglican church in Bukavu helped by giving food and other essentials. Judith is grateful to God for this care in her time of need and has joined the local church. 

ZIMBABWE: Honeyworld

(2016 – 2025)

Anglican Aid’s partner Honeyworld, Zimbabwe experienced a number of setbacks through 2024 and 2025. Prolonged heavy rainfall drastically reduced honey production. As well as these supply problems, Zimbabwe’s economy was in crisis, with hyperinflation, increased taxation, and severe currency instability. Honeyworld’s operating costs soared with prices increasing for fuel, packaging, and transport.  

With these and several other ongoing challenges, the Honeyworld team made the difficult decision to wind up the business and work towards helping out-growers to secure new markets.  

Praise God for the work of Honeyworld over the past eight years and the many lives which have been impacted including Christian youths finding employment and over 250 rural people developing their beekeeping businesses.  

KENYA: Marsabit IDP Re-location

(2021 – 2025)

Tribal conflict in Marsabit has left deep scars on affected communities, displacing many families from their homes and forcing them into Internally Displaced Persons’ (IDP) camps.

In partnership with Anglican Aid, the Diocese of Marsabit is helping vulnerable displaced people to re-establish their homes. Fifty displaced families received roofing sheets to start construction. Eleven of these received further building materials and financial support to construct roofing for permanent homes.

Morm, a widow with three children, had lived in the IDP camp for three years. She said: “Life in the camp was very difficult. We had no privacy. The shelters were small and leaked whenever it rained, and we depended on others for almost everything. Today, with support from the project, we have our own two-bedroom house. Having a home has restored our dignity and given us peace of mind. My children can sleep safely, and we are finally rebuilding our lives again. I feel proud that we have a place we can truly call home. I sincerely thank everyone who was involved in changing our situation. May God bless you.”

SUDAN: IDP Relief, Nuba Mountains

(2024 – 2025)

Anglican Aid partnered with the Diocese of Kadugli in the Nuba Mountains to provide assistance to Internally Displaced People (IDPs) who had fled the conflict in the north of the country.   

With support from generous donors to Anglican Aid, the Diocese provided emergency aid such as food and clothing. 

MOZAMBIQUE: Support for persecuted Christians in Zambezia 

(2025)

Anglican Aid worked with the Anglican Diocese of Zambezia to provide support through agricultural empowerment for 300 households who had been displaced by persecution and violence. 

The project team distributed drought-resistant cassava and horticulture seeds and trained 30 community facilitators—primarily women—in conservation agriculture and climate resilience. These facilitators led household groups in establishing cassava fields and horticulture gardens, promoting self-reliance and reducing dependence on food aid.  

Albina was one of the women who received training. She said, “Nowadays families come to me for consultation and seeking advice on how to prepare land for cultivation. I believe if we had not received the knowledge from the church and been given the seeds, most of the families here in the community would have been in desperation.”

MOZAMBIQUE: Zambezia Water and Sanitation Project

(2023 – 2025)

Anglican Aid worked with the Anglican Diocese of Zambezia to provide the Icidua community with access to clean water, hygiene facilities, and sanitation education. 

The Diocese appointed a village water and sanitation committee to implement the project which involved constructing toilets and teaching community members about how to construct their own toilets. It also provided a well to access water for hygiene, and taught community members about sanitation, health, and hygiene. 

The project has resulted in a significant reduction of waterborne disease such as cholera in the community. 

TANZANIA: Kakindo Community Hall

(2024 – 2025)

Praise God that the new community hall in Kakindo, Tanzania opened in July 2025 with its first church service. The building was completed in partnership with the Diocese of Lweru and Anglican Aid, with prayer and financial support from Christians in Australia, especially those at St Luke’s Miranda. 

As well as church services, the building will be a venue for weddings, women’s social group meetings, preschool, support groups for people affected by HIV and malaria and village meetings on health and education. The building provides a space for reaching out to the community, welcoming people in, and helping them grow in their faith in Jesus. Pray that Jesus will be honoured as people gather in this building. 

TANZANIA: Rorya Farmer Training

(2023 – 2026)

This project undertaken by the Diocese of Rorya, involved establishing model farms, introducing improved farming methods, building crop storage facilities, and planting tree nurseries to address deforestation.  

Around 1,400 small holder farmers underwent the training which resulted in improved crop yields, income, and nutrition for families, as well as reforestation of the area. It also provided employment for seasonal labourers during cultivation and harvest times. 

The local church grew from 11 to 160 over the course of the project. 

DR CONGO: Life in Abundance, Economic Empowerment through Microfinance

(2023 – 2025)

Anglican Aid partnered with Life in Abundance ministries to help communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to defeat poverty.   

Their work involved building economic empowerment in communities by providing microfinance loans and vocational skills training. They helped families build sustainable small businesses to generate income so they could afford education, nutritious food, and other essentials. With rebels overtaking Goma and Bukavu in 2025, some of this work has been put on hold as LIA redirects its focus towards emergency aid and trauma recovery for displaced people, with support from Anglican Aid. 

RWANDA: Piglets Project

(2022 – 2025)

Since Anglican Aid began supporting this project in 2022, 800 people’s lives have been touched. 

The Rwanda Piglets Project has been lifting families out of poverty through sustainable pig farming. Together with the Diocese of Shyira, Anglican Aid has provided piglets and agricultural training to families living in poverty. Anglican Aid undertook to fund this initiative for three years and have now handed over the project for our partners to carry forward. 

TANZANIA: Tarime Preschool

(2022 – 2025)

Tarime Preschool was set up with gifts from Anglican Aid supporters and welcomed its first eight students in January 2024.  

The funding helped to renovate and equip the building that was repurposed for the school. It provided furniture, fencing, kitchen facilities, and a playground. It also helped pay for two teachers for the first year of operation. 

Before the preschool was set up, the community didn’t have early childhood education. The centre is preparing children for primary school and developing their academic skills. It is also teaching the children about Jesus. 

The preschool is a ministry of the Diocese of Tarime and by the end of 2025, it was teaching around 60 students. It is now self-sustaining. 

KENYA: Elyon Christian Mission

(2021 – 2025)

Since 2021, Anglican Aid has partnered with Elyon Christian Mission to provide education for students in Dagoretti Corner, a slum area in Nairobi.  

Anglican Aid supporters provided funds to supplement the salaries of teachers at Elyon High School, enabling the school to offer education to students living in poverty at very low fees. The support also enabled the school to provide a daily meal for students.  

Alongside the high school, Anglican Aid partnered with Elyon Christian Mission in supporting Ulu Technical School, a rural town two hours from Nairobi. Here they teach trade skills like motor mechanics, carpentry, and tailoring, as well as Bible classes, to youth who have been unable to complete high school.   

Elyon Christian Mission is linked with Dagoretti Corner Baptist Church, a church that ministers to people living in the slum area. The school has now been relocated to the grounds of the church and has around 100 students. 

SOUTH AFRICA: Timion Disability Counselling and Community Development

(2016 – 2024)

From 2016 to 2024, Anglican Aid partnered with Timion Disability Counselling and Community Development in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, to provide Christian care and hope to children with disabilities and their caregivers.  

In South Africa, many children living with a disability don’t have access to regular therapy or assistive equipment. They’re often considered cursed, so are isolated from society. With the support of Anglican Aid, Timion designed, produced, and supplied affordable and durable assistive equipment, and therapists and counsellors visited families in their homes to provide support and therapy. Timion also ran recreation and respite camps for kids and parents, providing an opportunity to build true friendships and encounter Christian fellowship and teaching.

SYRIA: Earthquake relief

(2023 – 2024)

In February 2023, Syria and Turkey (Turkiye) were struck by a devastating earthquake.

Together with Pastor Samir Yacco and Damascus Church Aid, Anglican Aid assisted with the rebuilding of houses in Syria’s worst affected areas of Aleppo and Jableh, and ensured that these affected communities had access to essential items like blankets, medicine and food.

Pastor Samir was extremely grateful for the support: “Words fail me in expressing my gratitude and appreciation towards Anglican Aid. It is enabling us to help those in dire need.”

PAKISTAN: Solar panels for Victoria Memorial Medical Centre

(2023)

In 2023, Anglican Aid provided funding to install solar panels on the roof of Victoria Memorial Medical Centre to help ease the burden of soaring electricity costs and high inflation.

Since the installation of the panels, the Centre has made substantial cost savings and has also secured a more reliable supply of electricity.

The Centre was established by 1toAnother in 2021 in partnership with Anglican Aid, to provide affordable, quality health care to poor and marginalised people in Multan.

Director of 1toAnother, Haroon Younis said: “On behalf of Victoria Memorial Medical Centre, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Anglican Aid for your generous funding of solar panels. The impact of this support has been substantial, significantly reducing our electricity expenses . . .  Remarkably, the monthly savings are sufficient to employ an additional doctor, which is truly transformative for our services . . . We are profoundly grateful to God for Anglican Aid’s impactful work in Pakistan.”

MADAGASCAR, MALAWI AND MOZAMBIQUE : Cyclone Freddy Relief 

(2023)

In February and March 2023, Cyclone Freddy struck Southern Africa causing widespread destruction and loss of life. Anglican Aid provided support for emergency relief through Anglican dioceses in Mozambique, Madagascar and Malawi.  

In Mozambique, 80 year-old Heide was asleep when Cyclone Freddy struck her village and tore the roof from her house. Heide’s small field was also flooded and in the days after the cyclone, thieves looted her home, leaving her with no food or clothes. She said: “l was lucky to be the first person to receive a bag of rice, soap, water guard (purifier) and used clothes, which our church gave to help me and my grandson. I am grateful to the Anglican church and its partner Anglican Aid.” 

TANZANIA: Theological Education Conference

(2023)

Following requests from Anglican bishops in Tanzania, Anglican Aid provided the support for a conference to plan for the future of theological education in Tanzania. 

In March 2023, Theological Education staff of Anglican Aid, together with Bill Salier of the GAFCON Theological Educators Network, joined this gathering.

The 28 attendees, including 16 bishops and 10 Bible college principals from across Tanzania, took the opportunity to lay foundations for curriculum review and set a course that we pray will strengthen the Anglican church in Tanzania into the future. 

PAKISTAN: 1toAnother Flood Relief

(2022 – 2023)

Pakistan suffered devastating floods from June to October 2022. More than 1,700 people were killed and over 2 million were left homeless. Anglican Aid partnered with 1toAnother and the diocese of Hyderabad, Church of Pakistan to provide food, safe drinking water, medical supplies and tents to meet the immediate needs of those affected.

1toAnother’s Director, Haroon Younis shared, “We are very grateful to Anglican Aid who financially supported us and provided funds for flood relief work . . . Being believers in Jesus, we get a chance to say to people we help that we are not the ones who deserve to be praised and glorified, rather praise and glory be to God who has chosen us to help you and perhaps this is one way in which we spread the word of God.”

THAILAND: Chainat Disabilities

(2017 – 2023)

Anglican Aid partnered with Chainat Disabilities from 2017 to help improve the quality of life for children living with disabilities in Thailand and their families. Chainat Disabilities provided physiotherapy, preparation for mainstream schooling and access to education, skills development for independent living, regular Christian ministry and opportunities to attend Christian camps. They also worked with local communities to help improve the acceptance of people living with disabilities. 

The lives of many children and their families were transformed, including five-year-old Ikkew, who was born with Down Syndrome and attended one of Chainat’s centres. His Grandmother said, “Without Chainat’s help Ikkew would not have been able to start attending mainstream school. He would have had to either be at home, or in special programs.” Because he was able to school Ikkew made friends and felt included as part of mainstream society. This feeling of acceptance was also extended into his home life as Chainat workers had also taken the time to sit with Ikkew’s neighbours, explaining disabilities to them and helping them to understand Down Syndrome. Ikkew and his grandparents’ came to feel much happier and more comfortable in their community.
