Together we empower impoverished children to become future leaders.

Our Mission

It has been our mission for the past 14 years to provide access to higher education that provides the knowledge, skills, abilities and self confidence that children need to succeed in life to the children at El Shaddai Ministries Regional Child Care Facility (ESM) in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). El Shaddai Paths to Life & Leadership’s vision is a world where impoverished children at risk become future leaders in their communities.

The children of ESM need our help now more than ever. It has come to our attention that ESM’s primary sponsor has been struggling to raise much needed funds and can no longer meet the most basic needs of the home. This has led to the depletion of food stocks, a notable deterioration of the buildings and a decrease in hours for those who provide direct care to the children. With your help we are looking to remedy the problem by expanding our mission to fund these daily needs. We have extended the charter of our 501(c)(3) to do just that and created a new branch that will raise funds for this purpose. We have changed our name to El Shaddai Paths to Life & Leadership so we can meet their basic needs first (Life). Please pray for our added focus and donate.

"A sound investment in a child's future, El Shaddai Paths to Life & Leadership supports much more than access to education."
