The Whole Child Approach

Breaking the poverty cycle starts with investing in youth. Our 'Whole Child' model ensures children are not just educated, but healthy, protected, involved, supported, and pushed to grow. We leverage community, spiritual, and educational resources to address children's needs comprehensively, aiming for lasting, transformative impact.

With the blessings of God and your continued support, we remain committed to the mission of liberating as many children as possible from poverty in Jesus' name.

“2024 was a landmark year for Torchgrab Africa. It was a year of growth, resilience, and vision-casting, building on our recent successes. We made significant strides:

  • Broadened our nutrition program, providing over 140,000 meals to children

  • Improved our water purification systems

  • Enhanced teacher support at Petra

  • Greatly expanded our Promise Partners Program to support more orphans and vulnerable children

These initiatives have enabled us to support 26% more children this year.

Together, we are aligned by a common vision: to give vulnerable children a hope and future through education and a real relationship with their Savior Jesus Christ. It’s incredible to witness the tangible Glory of God made evident through the collaborative efforts and hearts of our supporters and partners, as we work together to bring the gospel to the least of these.

Your continued solidarity and support means everything to us. Thank you.”
