Equip Vulnerable and Orphaned Children (EVOC)

  The Problem

The number of orphans and street children in Tanzania continues to increase year after year with no end in sight. This is creating a generation of frustrated, angry youth who become involved in crime, drugs and indiscriminate sexual activity €“and thus a down ward spiral of sin and despair.

This growing problem is caused, in large part, to poverty, childhood pregnancies, and parents dying of HIV/AIDS and other diseases. 

The Solution

Deliberate measures must be taken to address the critical needs of these young people. To this end, New Life Gospel Community Church initiated a project known as “Equip Vulnerable and Orphaned Children” (EVOC). This is a faith based organization(FBO) within a New Life Gospel Community Church aims to:

• Help orphans and street children overcome their miseries and suffering from drugs, promiscuity and crime.
• Help the kids to avoid exposure to the corruption of the world and transform their lives with a Biblical view of moral ethics.
• Preach the gospel holistically, both spiritually and physically, to strengthen the Church and the community, enabling them to function effectively and efficiently in building a strong foundation for the coming generation.

Today, New Life Gospel Community Church assists about 25 needy orphans materially and spiritually. We began with seven children in 2000 and have grown EVOC slowly and steadily. We are grateful to God that some have finished their primary education and are going on with their education at secondary schools.

The Challenge: We Need Your Support

We have gone about as far as we can with the resources God has given us. Because of poverty and life hardship of our members, we have failed to keep up with the growing number of needy orphans. Our vision of saving a generation needs your help now. Become a partner with us in reaching out to these needy children by:

• Praying for this EVOC project
• Visiting the children and encouraging them to accept Jesus Christ.
• Sponsoring one or more children for food, clothing tuition and school supplies
• Buying mosquito nets to protect the children from malaria and other mosquito borne diseases
• Sponsoring the EVOC football team by buying balls and paying travel costs when invited to play other teams in distant places.

  Youth – Abstinence and Behavior Change (Y-ABC)

Our church runs projects which focus primarily on youth and vulnerable children with interventions and messages about positive behavior charge, abstinence from drugs and sexual activity, delayed sexual debut and marriage, being faithful, re-commitment and abolition of harmful traditional practices such as female circumcision.

The project targets youth in the10-24 of age range. Our Mara region has over 215,000 young men and 234,000 young women that need immediate education. We use a variety of media for message dissemination on behavior change such as TV, drama, radio programs, contests, youth to youth, child to child, support groups and gardens for youth.

This project is funded from a variety of sources including friends from within and outside Tanzania and the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA). The 2006 the program on Change of Behavior was conducted by bringing. multi-denominational youths together. This project so far has reached 196 youths.

This project has been so successful that the church is now given a regular radio spot called “Busati la michezo” to reach a wider proportion of the region with key HIV/AIDS prevention and control messages.
