MCBS ZION MISSION IN AFRICA

We provide our help and service in the pastoral ministry of 5 different dioceses in Tanzania. Every year we have number of baptisms, marriages and confirmations.

One of our prime concerns is drinking water. Our water sources dry up during summer and people have to walk miles to get drinking water.    So we were trying these years with the help of the Little way association and Manos Unidas to provide drinking water through digging as many open wells and rain water harvesting tanks for all denominations of people and animals. 

Every year we provide fertilizers and seeds at the beginning of rainy      season to more than 450 families and each year we expand our service to more families.

Every year we provide around USD 25,000 for providing helps in small scale industries and as study helps for students starting from preprimary to university level. Priority is given to orphans and unwed mothers which is very common here.

Education is one of our prime concerns in African mission since apart from educated people there can’t be any development. So we are providing supplementary education for 2350 village kids in 10 government schools in Mathematics, English and Science.

As our answer to the cry for food and nutrition we provide midday meals for 6120 children every day in 12 government schools near to our mission so that students get nutrition and are encouraged to attend school.

Through our parishes we provide food kits to 120 families every month.

We have so far helped 82 families to build small house with three rooms for the poor and homeless.

Through our initiatives we have so far provided 5200 chickens, 132 lambs and 64 piglets to the women groups and our initiatives in the social and educational sectors have proved successful as we can see the difference after we stepped in.
