Our mission is to do good for its own sake. Without thought or expecting reward, or recognition but with hope of making a better world. |
Needy Brethren is a family foundation, founded two years ago. This charity is dedicated to the welfare of the poor and needy and was set up out out of passion for the suffering of the poor and the needy people in general, specially the elderly, children and women & for those who are victims of povery and / or those who suffer from adverse environmental conditions beyond their control..
The Foundation considered it is an honour to serve the needy as they represent Christ.
The foundation also regarded itself as not just a charity institution but also a spiritual community.
Altogether, the foundation on the one hand and the needy on the other hand, are mutually representing Christ, making life in the communities a mutual encounter with the Lord and therefore an event of salvation.

Our appeal to all Brethren in Christ is to love, have compassion and be kind to the needy.
Jesus Christ love and had compassion. His compassion was manifested toward the multitudes. Mark 6: 34 And Jesus when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd.
Jesus compassion forced him to heal the blind, the sick etc.
May we too have love and compassion like this and love in both word and in deed.
We saw that there is a big need here in most communities: Once and foremost there are people here, who are starving. There are small little children, whose brains get damaged, because they have not enough to eat, because they are malnourished. And so we said: "We must do something for them!" and we started a feeding scheme for malnourished infants in the Ga Villages and clothe the needy.
Insufficient education leads to unemployment, unemployment results in hunger, hunger makes people sick, sickness creates poverty and one who is poor cannot afford education.
There is another big need, too. There are many people, who are sitting at home, who have nothing to do, who just wait, until the day goes by. And then we said: No, we must help those people to be able to employ themselves, to do some work, where they can make money with. And so we said:
We will start a community development centre and that we did in the Ga districts, too. We started this community development centre by sewing classes where people learn to make dresses, where they learn to sew, so that they can sell what they are producing and make a living for themselves, for their many children and for their husbands, sometimes one person has to support many people.
There is another need, too: There are so many people, who can't get a job, they can't get work, because they haven't got the skills,because they have no training to do work. And so we said: We must help there, that people can get employment or that people who have got employment already, can do their jobs better and so improve on their own lives.
