Life for Moz believes in using a holistic approach to developing a fullness of life for all Mozambicans. The areas that we support include emergency relief and long-term development. We bring the skills of multiple professionals and their different areas of expertise to each community in which we work, enabling us to care for the community’s physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Through our experience we understand that there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution to solving the challenges in Mozambique. A community’s ongoing problems cannot be solved just by providing clean water, more medicines, or education. We know that success can only be achieved by looking at the big picture. With that, we start by partnering with the Mozambicans in the community to achieve long-term solutions that will work for them. Rather than specializing in just one area, Life For Moz works to bring about change in every aspect of community life. Our holistic approach – which includes building wells, connecting with local families, providing health assistance, microeconomic activities, planting churches, training pastors, orphanage centers and much more – makes the difference between short-term fixes and long-term self-sufficiency. Life For Moz comes to each community in Mozambique recognizing the gifts God has given to each individual and community member. Working side by side with each community, and asking for God’s leadership and wisdom through prayer, we combine our gifts and expertise – with the objective that the local people continue to be the “owners” of how Life For Moz will transform lives because, in the long-term, we have not really helped the community in Mozambique unless we have also strengthened all levels within Mozambique (children, community, and churches) to provide for their continuing care and development, with the grace of God.
