Public benefits

The direct benefits include the relief of poverty, which will reduce the level of hunger, homelessness and avoidable ill health/disease experienced by the beneficiaries in Kenya and Uganda and any areas Goshen works with in the future. Further benefits include the spreading of the Christian Religion which will promote an improved moral & spiritual

framework for beneficiaries. The benefits are evidenced as Schools and dormitories are being created with help of Goshen funding and placement of children in families with financial support provided by Goshen Ministries to those families until they become self-sufficient. Provision of food to homeless people, including children and funding to programmes that provide this throughout the year. Goshen Ministries are in constant contact with the schools/ dormitories/ food banks and foster homes we finance.
