Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The primary goal of Todd Allen Family Ministries is to bring hope to the people of the United States through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to strengthen homes through Biblical teaching. The secondary goal of TAFM is to raise awareness of the desperate needs of the people in central Uganda, with the intent of funding projects that will meet those needs and also bringing people from the United States to help meet those needs through medical care, education, counseling and skills training.
Hope's Cry International is a DBA of TAFM and was created to as the banner under which to place all programs connected with the work in Uganda.
The primary goal of HCI is to transform the community of Soroti, Uganda and its surrounding villages, from a culture of poverty and survival to a culture of self-sufficiency and productivity. Through many programs, we offer hope and healing to a nation that has been devastated by wars, rebel activity, disease, ignorance and poverty for the last two decades.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
PROGRAM STRATEGIES
AGRICULTURE - We have a large, shared acreage of land being worked with additional crops. We have also purchased a large portion of land for planting large crops and raising cattle.
MEDICAL CENTER
In 2016, we constructed a fully-functional clinic with a lab and pharmacy serving the community of Soroti, Uganda.
GUESTHOUSE
We plan to construct a 20-room guesthouse facility with bunkhouse, dining room, and meeting hall to support the teams we bring into Uganda. Additionally, it will be open to the public as a self-financing project for the orphanage. The facility will also be used as a training site for village pastors. Pastors from remote villages will be accommodated with housing and travel to and from the facility during these 4-week training terms.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Hope's Cry International has a base of donors who give on a monthly basis to the programs for Uganda. Many donors also give one-time gifts toward the programs for Uganda. Some of the donors are recurring online givers, and some are donors that are acquired through the live concert performances of The Allen Family.
HCI also brings teams of workers to Uganda twice annually. Some of these workers include medical personnel, pastors, teachers, and construction workers.
HCI has Ugandan nationals managing the programs in Uganda, as well as American missionaries who oversee the construction and agricultural projects of HCI in Uganda.
HCI has an NGO branch in Uganda, Africa operating 24/7 with our team of nationals and American missionary staff to accomplish our goals.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
