Life Child Gives Back exists to meet urgent needs while building hope for the future. When families face crisis – whether through conflict, displacement, or extreme poverty – Life Child responds with compassion, practical support, and long-term care.
From emergency relief in northern Mozambique to literacy programmes that restore dignity and opportunity, your generosity helps protect children and strengthen families when it matters most.
Life Child impacts children, families, communities, and nations by creating sustainability through Education, Health and Nutrition, and Social and Spiritual Development.
Life Child Gives Back was established as a vehicle for Life Church and Life Child to give back to the community in specific ways that can meet emergency needs and open new fields for the future. For example, Life Church and Life Child have been instrumental in supporting the thousands of internally displaced people who fled the violence in the North of Mozambique through a wonderful partnership with Dignidad ONGD from Spain.
Recently, the training of literacy teachers in the program Pueblos has been taking place, where they will teach the vulnerable in the resettlement camps to read and write in their mother tongues in the district of Montepuez in Cabo Delgado. We have also been assisting the people with much-needed humanitarian aid and social support.
Life Sustainability helps ensure that Life Child’s work can continue for generations.
By creating income-generating projects, we reduce reliance on donations alone while creating jobs, skills, and dignity for people in the communities we serve.

The biggest Life Sustainability project is a farming operation in Mozambique. We have purchased two farms of 150 hectares each near Quelimane. The main crop that is currently being grown is Moringa – a tree that provides super-food grade nutrient products in the form of powders and oils made from its leaves and seeds. The Peace School in Quelimane has been growing Moringa for several years, and we are building on this experience. Clearing and planting these trees is already well underway, with 55,000 trees being planted on about 20 hectares.The largest Life Sustainability initiative is a farming project in Mozambique that is helping build long-term stability for children and families. Near Quelimane, Life Child has established two farms totalling 300 hectares, creating both food security and employment within the local community.
The primary crop is Moringa – a highly nutritious tree whose leaves and seeds are used to produce life-giving food supplements and oils. Building on years of experience growing Moringa at the Peace School in Quelimane, this project is now being expanded to reach far beyond the classroom.
Already, more than 55,000 Moringa trees have been planted across 20 hectares, laying the groundwork for sustainable income, local jobs, and healthier futures.
Near Quelimane, Life Child has established two farms where Moringa – a highly nutritious crop – is grown to support both health and livelihoods.
More than 55,000 trees have already been planted, creating jobs and long-term opportunity for families.
Alongside farming, Life Sustainability provides skills training through a sewing school, equipping participants with practical skills and small-business knowledge.
These initiatives are building dignity, independence, and hope – one family at a time.
In its early stages, the project focuses on primary processing – preparing Moringa for export to global manufacturers. As the farms grow and mature, they are expected to become profitable by 2027, creating a reliable, long-term income stream.
Once profitable, earnings will be reinvested to expand the business, while a portion will directly support Life Child’s programmes – helping cover operational costs and strengthening our ability to care for children year after year.
Alongside farming, Life Sustainability is creating new opportunities through skills development. With donated industrial sewing machines, a training school has been established where participants learn practical sewing skills and the basics of running a small business – equipping families with tools to earn a living and build independence.
Together, these initiatives are laying foundations for lasting change – creating opportunity, dignity, and hope for the future.
