Our Vision

To provide a spiritual family to the poorest of the poor and instill hope in the hopeless.

Our Mission

To help vulnerable children who have lost parents to HIV/AIDS, poverty, and other diseases by providing them with the spiritual, physical, and emotional guidance needed to assist them growing up to be productive and successful adults.  Jamii provides clothes, meals, education, spiritual and psychological guidance to hundreds of children.

Core Values

Faith Based — God alone transforms lives. As we rescue children-in-crisis, we submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, depend on the power of the Holy Spirit, accept the authority of the scriptures, and make prayer central to our ministry.

Action Oriented — We follow the example of Jesus Christ. We work to build just societies as we respond with sacrificial love to the world’s suffering children. Child Focused — We believe children should have the opportunity to mature and develop their full potential. We care for the whole child by providing for the full range of spiritual, educational, social, physical, and emotional needs. An International Partnership of Churches — We are an international team with local churches as partners. We all benefit from jointly cultivating local leadership and developing culturally relevant, caring communities for children.  The children of Jamii International will be prepared to lead in the church and home with integrity. Committed to Excellence — Our goal is to be known for our determined pursuit of quality, the integrity of our relationships, the clarity of our communication, and our accountability with human and financial resources entrusted to us. Family Centered — We believe in the nurturing power of the family. We strengthen existing families and place unprotected children in safe, family-style homes. We prepare these children to one day lead healthy families of their own.
