A Passion for Seeing Families Thrive
We have seen first hand how Christ-centered microfinance programs impact parents, children and communities.
We feel a special calling to show how a small donation of $4.83 can have a powerful impact on a child’s life and wrote a book called $4.83: The Cost to Impact the Life of a Child for a Year… Maybe Forever. Sharing these stories spreads even greater awareness to get more people involved and created the 483 movement.
